Shosh
I am so sorry that you feel that someone considered the French useless. I'm sure that it was a misunderstanding and that it was in fact, probably a referrence to a political decision and not to the people of France.
This is a time to remember and treasure all people of all faiths and country origins.

Very sad news, Shosh.
The backlash on the innocent has been stronger than predicted. Maybe we need a simultaneous internal war on ignorance as well as one on international terrorism.

That was very wrong of me. I should be able to be hurt without lashing out! I apologize. That was immature (at 64, do I still have time to mature?)
krs I hope all went well at the Doctor's...
To me friends, thank you. I won't be around much during the High Holidays...and by then, things should be normal again. Yom Kippur, which follows Rosh Hashanah, is the day of atonement...when we must ask forgiveness...and hopelly, receive it, for our mis-deeds. So, to all I have offended, I am sorry.
Femme
Off I go...Security will walk us back and forth to our car during the entire High Holiday period.

Shosh, at 64 (you dont look it, btw), you are entitled to be anything you want, as long as you dont think your friends have left you

So sorry Shosh...
I wish I could say it will get better yet I fear it will worsen, first.
We are fortunate to have Yom Kippur so close ~ there is much to atone for.
To life, Shoshanah.
L'Chaim.
To you and yours, a sweet New Year.
L'Shana Tovah!
One Nation, under God, INDIVISIBLE, with liberty and Justice for All.

Sorry there are such idiots in the world Shosh - It is so hard to believe someone can be shot for wearing a lousy turban. Someone so ignorant they can't tell one "furriner" from another - and somewhere 3 or 4 generations ago their relatives were foreign also!

May you envelop us all in the cape of compassion.
