Beautifully and lovingly written; what a different realm it would be with leadership like this. BTW, In the Jewish religion the Cohen's are singled out from the rest, as the elitist of the faith, kind of like the Brahmans in India. So it could be just the elitist thing, that keeps stifling attitude going; much like the collective consciousness in the United States, or the media, stock market, Bush administration. This limiting consciousness, seems to have a need to feel 'better than', or makes the rules of who is a winner, and who is a loser; Donald Trump, exemplifies this kind of attitude: To me it's just plain demonic; You're fired, you're no good, I'm superior to you; you're a loser... An old Dylan tune comes to mind: Everybody's got to serve somebody... "You can serve the devil or you can serve the Lord, but you're gonna have to serve, somebody... R.G. >
