I came to votenader.org this morning to see if Ralph had anything to say yet about Obama's probable choice for Attorney General, Eric Holder, and found Ralph's apt thoughts on relevant things, but nothing on Holder. It seems to me that choice is especially emblematic of what we can expect from Obama's presidency, besides the ones Ralph mentioned. After all, the guy negotiated a sweetheart deal for Chiquita Brands, allowing them to slither away from accountability for the crime of funding death squads in Columbia. (anyway, this is my take on it, for what it's worth: http://thomasinapaine.blogspot.com/2008/11/eric-c...)
I also TOTALLY enjoyed seeing Ralph at the La Paloma Theater in Oceanside...whenever it was. I loved seeing his funny side, so much. He's a national treasure, for sure.

I haven't read Carter's book, but, of course, I respect him for his fairness, in general. I know he has enraged many with his book, but somebody had to speak up. I'm sure he sees both sides and could be a big help, if only people would listen. But when religion is involved, watch out!
I can't tell if you're in Israel or in America. If you have lived in Israel you may have a more informed view of the situation.

Religion and government are never a good mix, and that's where the wisdom of the First Amendment to our Constitution works for us. Unfortunately, the formation of Israel left out that bit of wisdom, thus we have the disaster that is the Israel/Palestine conflict.

We can put pressure on the candidates, on the media, and on the Israeli government to stop human rights abuse against the Palestinian people. It's what I intend to do, regardless.
