Dear Pangie, I agree with you hatred and racism in any form is intolerable. I think each news net work is putting their own slant on things and it is certainly not a black and white issue. When doctors with out borders and other humanitarian groups, even families of the hostages say it's Netanyahu's genocide. It's genocide. It doesn't justify attacks of jewish college students in any way..

Without people -- 'a vast empty desert,' indeed.... Barbara Streisand sang 'People' in 'Funny Girl:' "People who need people are the luckiest people in the world.' :) gw

Victor, i do read you! I have not been feeling well, so I apologize , i do have soup mail, for you and anyopen to remind me, if I forget. I have been intentenselyn interested in the hatred of Israel, and the despicable behavior od students on American campuses.. jews and Christian safety overides my interest in poetry. Our President is quick to attack Republucans with wicked names,..but he loves Hamas, the slayer of Jews? I read no poet everyday. Each of us works differebtly. I do lotsof emails in addition,, I mean LONG emais, thanks for bringing this to my attention. PR

Aren't you sweet my friend. You bring warmth and laughter to me each day and I appreciate your friendship. I agree that people are healers. As Richard Bach said: "“Your friends will know you better in the first minute you meet than your acquaintances will know you in a thousand years.”

Hi, friend Linda, I.always act so siilly when I write you. You bring out the giggles in me,. Laughter is a healer Ii guess, I will address you as “Linda Welby Md.”which reminds me, I see Roju carries “Baywatch.”Holy Guacamole! Better see if they have “Fantasy Island” on. But wait!! I go there with Rob daily! Hah! Deep thought from Bach. Thanks, Pangie xx
