OK, can't take it any more, especially as I've been accused of being "diplomatic" with my pesach post. Dipomacy, be damned.

I believe the horrendous disrespectful blot on the culture of the Chosen People is this disgusting sentence, quoted in its entirety: "What makes this year (2010) different from other years?" As a member of said race, however nominally, and therefore a spokesperson for my people, I have to say I am astounded that anyone, anyone at all could possibly take offense to that innocuous statement. Except for Louis, of course. The sentence is perfectly ordinary, and if it carries a slight hint of a reference to a famous cultural artifact of Judaism, well, so what. I would think that Mike should be congratulated on knowing about it, not dumped on. Chris Green had it right in posting an approving comment drawing attention to it (so it's all your fault, Chris!) Mr. Palij, take back that apology! It's not needed, and it only encourages him. (and if anyone detects the slight hint of a reference to a famous cultural artifact of Americanism, congratulations. I'm not going to apologize for it). Stephen -------------------------------------------- Stephen L.
