@Advocate,

I think we could be friends and share similar beliefs. I don't understand how you come down on certain issues, and I guess you have the same feeling about some of my beliefs.
Of course we could be friends....why not? The topic which I most gravitate towards is the Middle East situation, i.e., Israelis vs Palestinians, and in this arena you and I are at opposite ends of the spectrum. We disagree fervently, but not for one moment, have I ever disliked you as an individual poster, only your political views. You, in my personal opinion, are fighting for the survival of Israel whom you feel to be under attack by outside forces. I don't see this; I see Israel as a land grabber, refusing to compromise in this little area of space allotted to two groups of people, Palestinians and modern Israel in 1948 by the UN.
With regards to other subjects, i.e., social and economics, I find you astute, someone I agree with 100%. There is no such thing as perfection in our man-made culture, Advocate. I will take you as I find you. From a personal point of view, I like and admire your posts on other subjects outside the "Israeli topic."
