    Thank you Marina Amaral -it is amazing how she looks-it brings her back to life, this is the way she looked 75 years ago when we were still at home until we were taken to Auschwitz in May of 1944. My mother Jafa Mozes was a beautiful lady and your coloration makes it obvious!

    I am traveling via air today, and am getting to where I need to go because TSA employees are working without pay. I am grateful to them. What they are going through is unjust. I wouldn't blame them for walking off the job.

    Currently, Indiana is out of step with most of the rest of the country by not having a hate crime law at all. But if any of the proposed bills before the General Assembly passed, then how would we stack up? Great story from :

    Most annoying part of these type of essays is lack of historical perspective. Writer reduces Greatest Generation’s experiences to the Depression and GI Bill. That skirmish called World War II is ignored. Know what causes real burnout? Storming beaches in the Pacific. 3/3
