I j...Yes Peter you are right about the Pali Cohens. I just wanted to suggest that whether this chap changed his name for snob reasons or to better undermine the west, the end result is today the same, because the snobs - the elite liberals - are against the west's foundations, at least to some significant degree. Anyway, I have been to England many times, though not lately so I wonder what Blair has done to it. I even spent a couple of years in school over there in my primary years. My mother is English. I would like to think I have a good sense for your snobs, anti-snobs, and good folk who are smart enough to be neither. I love the true English too much to abide the parasitic snobs and resentful anti-snob snobs.

It sounds better/fools more than the same words when it is just a "towel head" bitching. Snobbery, party line: little diff, not that I want to paint a whole nation as snobs; that would be, well, snooty on my part. :-)truepeershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16401984575637492845noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16821859.post-1131921060712299192005-11-13T15:31:00.000-07:002005-11-13T15:31:00.000-07:00I'm not sure what to make of it.

In either case he could have given a story to please his captors in Iraq.truepeershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16401984575637492845noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16821859.post-1131916207569601372005-11-13T14:10:00.000-07:002005-11-13T14:10:00.000-07:00And to think we trust these people to tell us what...And to think we trust these people to tell us what is going on in the world.<BR/><BR/>That Christian Science story was like a plot for a bad movie or something.terryehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16609746018265953069noreply@blogger.com
