People often ask me: “Why do people hate the Jews?” I start the answer with this contextual retort: Always remember that jealousy and greed are very strong human motivators (and often not for good purposes). I further postulate that anti-Semitism
Medical Reality versus Baloney
With the American Medical Association and medical journals such as Lancet now joining the delusional leftists and their scientific fairy tales, it is becoming more difficult to separate medical fact from fiction. As a counterweight, there is a great posting
Avoiding Stereotypes?
