The following is a KSCO commentary.  Here is Kay Zwerling:

          This Commentary is in my book.  I wrote it in April 2007, and I am sorry to say that it is relevant today. 

          As an American Jewess, I find it painful, albeit necessary to help expose the shocking truth that there are in our midst self-hating Jews who are U.C. professors who are vigorously promoting extinction of the State of Israel. 

Kudos to Gil Stein, a local attorney, for making known the following condensed impassioned protest. 

And, I have added a new few of my own remarks.
          “On March 15^th, U.C. Santa Cruz hosted a conference entitled ‘Alternative Histories Within and Beyond Zionism’.  The conference was organized by Lisa Rofel, a professor of anthropology at UCSC. The event was co-sponsored by other university departments such as feminist studies, community studies, and sociology.
          There were five speakers, all Jewish, and all from different U.C. campuses, opposing Israel.  This was presented as an academic conference.  In fact, it was a political rally against Israel sponsored and paid for by the University of California”, which We The People subsidize. 
          Why is this a concern?   It is just one more example of the arrogance of power!    Professors are educators and should teach and not exploit their power to promote their personal agenda.  When university resources are used to promote a particular political point of view, it concerns us all, and those educators are brainwashing our children!    It happened here with a deliberate attempt to promote and encourage an anti-semitic agenda.   All of the five anti-Zionist speakers had no contrary opinions.  
          The event organizer asked the Chair of the Jewish Studies Program here at UCSC, Professor Murray Baumgarten to co-sponsor the event and even asked for a financial contribution.  This is like asking someone to help purchase the rope for his own hanging.  To his credit, Professor Baumgarten, volunteered to help secure other presenters who might add a more balanced viewpoint. But this was declined because the political agenda was already set.  
          Israeli policy is simple.  It only wants the right to exist in peace.  
          This conference was a deliberate attempt to indoctrinate students and others and to promote the concept that Israel has no right to exist.  
          The University of California has a responsibility not only to the students and faculty, but to all Californians to refrain from promoting an ideology or personal agendas.  The university belongs to all of us and should not be used for the private use of its employees.  This is not an issue of academic freedom.  It is an issue of academic integrity and honesty.  Whether the indoctrination is from the left or the right, it is improper.  It needs to be stopped now!   
          Way to go, Gil Stein.

The following is a KSCO commentary.  Here is Kay Zwerling:

           Putting it mildly, I suspect the Supreme Court fell into a trap of agreeing to listen and make decisions about same sex marriage.

          The irony is that probably the members of the Supreme Court may have come to the realization that it is not their place to make that decision. 

          Let me explain.

Dear Listeners,

          If you do not believe in the existence of God, just stop listening to me and move on to other of your issues.

          When God created the world, He began with Adam and Eve – a man and a woman.  They were exquisitely physically created to love each other and they learned how to make children.   They were married, and as time went by more and more people were created, and were married and made more and more children which filled the world with people.

          It is likely that while the world was being multiplied by men and women sometimes two men or two women learn to love each other and agree to be partners.   That was and is acceptable, and such partners should be respected and should legally be entitled to the same benefits as those partners who are in a one male and one female arrangement called marriage.  

          Through centuries all went smoothly until recently the two men and the two women arrangements decided that they wanted their union to also be called a marriage.

          Physically if God would accept that arrangement, then His plan for the world of humans – many humans would not exist.  So, two men or two women can never be accepted in a marriage.  

          Until they can figure out a way to create children to fill the world with people, they can never be called married.  For that logical reason, I cannot see how the members of our Supreme Court can ever rule unions of two men or two women to be called a marriage, because God would never condone that, and the Supreme Court can never overrule God. 

          So, the best thing the Supreme Court should do would be to create some elegant different name for same sex marriages and then turn to other really important issues to deal with.

The following is a KSCO commentary.  Here is Kay Zwerling:

My good friend Marcia sent this timely gem to me.   

It was in Dale Carnegie's book "How To Win Friends and Influence People", and it is a simple way to make a good impression with these words of wisdom at Christmastime –

Let’s call it “The Value of a Smile at Christmas” –

A smile costs nothing, but creates much.
It enriches those who receive, without impoverishing those who give.
A smile happens in a flash and the memory of it sometimes lasts forever.
None are so rich they can get along without it, and none so poor but are richer for its benefits.
Again, a smile creates happiness in the home, fosters goodwill in a business, and is the countersign of friends.
Also, it is rest to the weary, daylight to the discouraged, sunshine to the sad, and Nature’s best antidote for trouble.
Yet a smile cannot be bought, begged, borrowed, or stolen, for it is something that is no earthly good to anybody until it is given away!
And, if in the last-minute rush of Christmas buying some of our salespeople should be too tired to give you a smile, may we ask you to leave one of yours? 
For nobody needs a smile so much as those who have none left to give!
So, if you want people to like you – Smile, smile, smile.

The following is a KSCO commentary.  Here is Kay Zwerling:

          I wrote this in January 2006, and it is in my book. 

On the philosophical discussion of, what’s it all about Alfie, evolutionists, who have had easy access to public classrooms now vigorously oppose that same access to believers of Intelligent Design, a newly coined phrase to describe and explain human existence conferred by a higher being, who many of us call God.  These are two separate valid theories, so why shouldn’t they both be discussed openly in classrooms? 

Evolutionists contend that humans evolved first as a cluster of cells, which through millions of years became apes, then humanoids, then Neanderthals, and finally homo-sapiens – or human beings – with highly developed brains.  

One can wonder at what point did the original cells separate and become male and female.  Evolution is a neat scientific theory which leaves important issues not addressed, and many of us reject it as incomplete.   How was the world itself created?  

Proponents of Intelligent Design contend that God first created the world, then a man, and then the man’s companion, a woman, both exquisitely formed human creatures, who together learned how to reproduce themselves in their offspring. 

Every single organ is so perfectly functional with brains like high-powered computers, protected in bone skulls, eyes to see, ears to hear, thumbs to grasp. 

Every other organ which makes up a human being is so complex and equipped with deep emotions and sensitivity and the ability to reason.  

All in all, the person is such a complex creature, that it is too simplistic to believe that it all came together by way of evolution.    

Our country was founded on Judeo Christian principles.  Our Forefathers borrowed from the Ten Commandments and the Golden Rule and incorporated them with the Bill of Rights and the Constitution to create the greatest and most enduring democracy in the world despite complaints from secularists who are always offended and want to eradicate every public mention of God and religion.  

“Merry Christmas” remains, and “In God we trust” will not be removed from our coins and currency.  So, to those complainants, I say “Get over it.”  If it’s too painful, check out Canada.  

I believe both evolution and Intelligent Design should be taught, preferably in the college level.   

I saved the best for last.  Think about it.  God has endowed every human being with a soul that will endure through eternity.  Does evolution believe in the existence of a soul?
