Thanks for the kind comments Ingrid. We are doing well and ready for our Israel trip in a week :)
Here are some resources that will help you learn more about Ron Paul:
1. Articles - http://www.ronpaullibrary.org/
2. Ron Paul's book about foreign policy - http://www.amazon.com/Forei...

And yes, we see here too a lot of Ron Paul supporters. They are pretty active in NYC.

And you know what Rogel? Ron Paul has touched a nerve with a lot of people. It never seizes to surprise me how much this passion for Ron Paul runs deep, well, not him as such but what he stands for. I was hoping to post on him and do a bit more research. Of course, you're right, being passionate and knowledgeable(informed)are two very different things. I actually meant 'both'. So in that vein, I need to do a little more research on Ron Paul when I post. I do think he speaks truthfully and pragmatically. He's probably (don't know that for sure) the only one who has mentioned the state of the American dollar and the chinese buying them. I'm not libertarian and don't think I ever will be, but there are aspects of it I can identify with. Of course, there are aspects of other viewpoints that might seem counter that I can identify with as well.
Do you hear much about Ron Paul in your neck of the woods? His bumperstickers and posters (including home made ones) are all over the place here but naturally, he's from texas)
How is everything with your beautiful family? Are the girls' eyelashes like sunbeams still? (I so have a soft spot for brown eyes and curly eyelashes) I trust they're doing well and are healthy happy kids. You seem to have a solid family though and that (with a great mama at the helm let's face it!) is always a good recipe for a strong family,

The electorate in Israel is more passionate about some of the issues but not more informed - these are not the same qualities :)<div>If we are going to get someone in the White House from Texas I much rather it would be Ron Paul! </div>

boy, it just goes to show. People put sports above politics. I can't help but stay irritated with the apathetic masses who do not have their priorities straight. I read an interesting article on Guliani in the New Republic (which I think you've introduced me to actually). Here in Texas, rumours abound with Perry (another one that ought to be impeached) being Rudy's potential running mate while Kaye Bailey Hutchinson is priming herself for the 'inherited' republican throne. sigh..well, I have enough going on not to stress myself out over that. People will wake up or wonder what happened when they've continued the cycle of partisan voting which will be at the detriment of the ordinary citizen..mark my word. Not that a lot of people notice much, they're watching the boob tube and vote the president based on which team he likes. Really, which politics gives you the most headache rogel? here in the US or back in Israel? ( I know, tricky question! Me, I think I could handle Israeli politics better, she said never having set foot in the country!!lol, at least the electorate is a bit more informed, no?)
