Now if they just got on with the program with divorce

All I have heard about divorce in Israel is just horror stories where the men use the law to punish women in more ways than one --and the women have very little recourse to fight back.

It's not that it's not different here in the US, but still; for a country so far ahead of the curve in terms of art and culture and technology it kind of pisses me off that they are still basically a theocracy.

Words to live by

Recent revelations that all people are more than 99.9 percent genetically identical has proved that race has almost no biological validity. Yet geneticists' claims that race is a phony construct have not rung true to many nonscientists -- and understandably so, said Vivian Ota Wang of the National Human Genome Research Institute in Bethesda.

"You may tell people that race isn't real and doesn't matter, but they can't catch a cab," Ota Wang said. "So unless we take that into account it makes us sound crazy."
