&#160;Any number of people are waiting to pounce with criticism of you no matter what you do or don&#8217;t say about either this or that or both. &#160;That happens to be one of the prisms of reality that we must all deal with by some means or other. &#160;&#160;We may, as individuals in a world [...]]]></description>

On my way out the door yesterday afternoon, cbc reported that the Israeli &#8220;defense&#8221; forces were marching into Gaza.  A couple of days ago it was reported that the airforce had &#8220;run out of things to bomb&#8221; and was revisiting previous targets.  A Norwegian doctor at a hospital in Gaza has reported that &#8220;they bombed [...]]]></description>
