Since the earlier post was little more than an introduction to the site, this is really the first ever statement I will make on my "weblog". I felt that this was a long-overdue step for me, since people have been telling me either that I should start my own vanity site, or that I should direct films. So let's start this free-wheeling on-line discussion going with some random topics: eg., is Sharon an idiot? what's with that windbreaker he's always wearing? if Jim Tracy was the leader of the P.L.O., and not Arafat, would there be peace in Israel?
