This latest skirmish between Israel and its enemies makes one wonder whether this conflict will ever end. More importantly it makes you wonder whether anyone wants it to end. Many polticians seem to need this never ending conflict as political fodder.

The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting a different result. That describes 60 years of Mid-East "peace" proposals. Do the Jews belong in the Middle East? They certainly did 2000 years ago, but maybe this is a different time.

Israel was supposedly founded as a secular state. However, its leaders keep saying that "this is the land God gave to us". You can't have it both ways. We have been applying secular solutions to this problem. Can you apply secular solutions to "The Holy Land"? This is not a secular issue like abortion or gay rights.

Whenever anyone opposes Israel, Jewish Leaders immediately Point To The BIBLE and say that the fact that the land was promised to them is all that matters. There is a however a later passage in that same OLD Testament that few are aware of. It reads:

"Moreover, I will appoint a place for my people Israel, and will plant them that they may dwell in a place of their own and move no more." 2Samuel 7:10 and 1Chronicles 17:9

This is definitely not referring to the land of Canaan because they were already firmly planted in that land at the time that this was written. To what new promised homeland could it be referring?

Insanity is defined as doing the same thing over and over and expecting a different result. I just described the last 60 years of Mid-East "peace proposals".

Politicians are always looking for ways to fund things. There is currently a stupid idea going around called Transfinancial Economics. It says that instead of taxing people, the government should just print the money for programs. For obvious reasons this couldn’t possibly work. However, this got me to thinking. Are taxes the only way? Lotteries have been around for a while, but the money they generate is minimal. It’s been proposed that we invest money in the stock market for Social Security. Bush proposed letting individuals do it. However in his 1999 State of the Union; President Clinton suggested letting the government do it, saying:

Specifically, I propose that we commit 60 percent of the budget surplus for the next 15 years to Social Security, investing a small portion in the private sector just as any private or state government pension would do. This will earn a higher return and keep Social Security sound for 55 years.

As you can see, the states ALREADY invest in the stock market for pensions. They have been for years. If there are any people who think they shouldn’t; they haven’t made much noise. If you are one of the people who believe they shouldn’t then you probably should not read the rest of this...

You know the "what" of immigration.
Do you know the "why"?
