Basically, PCG's view of the middle eastern conflict is one-sided, and fails to even consider any of the very valid points raised by the Palestinians, as if this were a football game, and the Israelis happened to be their team. <br /><br />At this point in time, the educational level of most individuals living in the civilized world has surpassed the abilities of those who would present such a simplistic world view under the guise of incisive truth. <br /><br />Another event in another ACOG splinter prompted me to read a conceptual analysis of some of the characters on the old Laverne and Shirley TV program. Two of the characters that the audience always awaited were Lenny and Squiggy. The analysis I read described Squiggy as a dumb person who imagined that he was actually intelligent. Lenny was described as being even less gifted, in fact to the point where he also thought of Squiggy as being intelligent. Little did I realize that these characters have a greater application within the ACOG community than I had first imagined. In the early 1970s, KRLA AM in Southern California featured The Credibility Gap, in which David L. Lander and Michael McKean analyzed and pantomimed the news of the day, back while we in the WCG were counting down the days until "the end". Some of their skits even back then reminded me of our own simplistic viewpoints. <br /><br />BBByker Bobhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15602697337552385535noreply@blogger.com
