THIS ANTI-SEMITISM NONSENSE -PART TWO _________________________________________ I would like to pursue my last piece on anti-Semitism. I would first like to define the word 'ethnic'. According to this Google link (which no longer works), the definition is suitable for my purposes:     Ethnic: Of or relating to people grouped according to a common racial, national,             tribal, religious, linguistic, or cultural origin.         web.bryant.edu/~fsp/modules/2/diversitygloss.htm I might however, and importantly, add, philosophical, like-minded and other such terms as these. That way, I can include in the demonstrations of dislike of others (as 'ethnic minorities') those of us who share the views of our own, even if they are purely personal. I do not think that any personal views are not shared by others, however. Although the word 'ethnic' most often nowadays refers to minority groups, the same rules must also apply across the board. Why am I saying this? I am saying this because I believe that the greatest injustice to any individuals/people is being labelled. Being labelled is handy for communication with others as long as there is common ground (and reason) for that labelling. Unfortunately that labelling becomes the individuals/persons. Also, that labelling is also derogatory/negative. Labelling is branding (as of  sheep, for example). It defines ownership. This is what controllers/bullies want (both sheep and branding!). We must all know that bullies are really weak. Their strength is only in their weakness. Their only recourse is to some form of violence to make their negative points. They do not have to justify this because they are incapable of justifying it. My whole point is that those of us who want something better than being bullied are at the same time an ethnic minority. Unfortunately we don't have 'laws' that protect us. It's true that a bully system allows for dissidents, that also serves their purposes. The problem comes when we are a large enough 'minority' to actually have some clout (although we are not physically violent but vehement!). To be quite honest, notions that Man is a higher animal is complete eye-wash, tripe and patently untrue. To call people animals in a negative sense is to totally denigrate a planet that did not ask for us to be born. Which brings me to the notion of a 'God'. Frankly, if there is a god he/she/it has a lot of questions to answer. I'll post my 'Memorandum' article is anyone is interested (written in the 1970's). There are very many of us who do not want/wish/desire to be part of the fiasco which we call society. Unfortunately, we are not the majority (hence 'ethnic' minority). Whether we can have a real, practical say in any matter is determined by that our determination to change things, ourselves first.
