I'm a crank, but you already know that.  I've been forthcoming.  People who put their minds into description can be a pain in the ass.   Ask the Mob.  But that's not what I'm carping about.

There is a group that's been convening downtown for years running.  They have a PA system, a flip chart, and tables stacked with supporting paper non-valentines.   There is public address machine preaching, and the premise is:  Modern Jews are fake, some cheesy, crummy ethnic group from Asshole, Europe, and the real Jews are Black.  They use the flip chart to support their claim.

Handwritten in neat carpenter's pencil, left hand column in descending order, the names of the 12 tribes of Israel.  There was listed on the right column the names of native African tribes, with a horizontal line connecting the tribe of Israel to a tribe of Africa.  The real Jews descended from the right hand column.  To the left, folks were assholes.   Honest to fuck, I remorse the way I think and regret having become a cynic.

I'm a prick, and I think silly things.  It can be hurtful.   I began equating the tribes of Israel, for example, Cohen, with the Ike and Tina Turner Review.    The tribe Levi is the Isaly Brothers.  

I'm a silly goose and had a bar mitzvah, 1971.  It's been a cheesy stretch of manhood, all the more when you supposedly begin at age 13.  Soon as one has one's bar Mitzvah, one is a constipated, overworked, unpopular  adult.  By age 14 we own insurance distributorships, and have ulcers.   Male pattern baldness begins at conception.  

Not to freak out, not to go reactionary scumbag over what's happening, I have a gerbil's fear people may be trying to steal 6000 years of advanced civilization and productivity.  People may feel entitled to the net worth of that time frame.   Two shitty things happened before, and can do so again:  stolen property and stolen intangibles.  Feel free to chat over which of two matters more. In either case, it's swag.  Thanks for reading.
