<Israel's non-religious majority complains that politically powerful ultra-Orthodox rabbis and politicians impose constraints on the people, regulating their lifestyles from cradle to grave and imposing public religious observances. >

So, what's new? The USA does that and so does NZ. Over half of people really can't run their own lives without telling others what they can and can't do. That's why Libertarianz only get a negligible bit of the vote in every election around the world.

I think it's because people are more like chimps than humans, despite the fantasies of superstitious cultists. Check out your hairy arms and compare them with a gibbon's! Because we are more like chimps than humans [well, the humans that we THINK we are], we are very busily hierarchical and kleptomaniac, territorial and more 'hunter gatherer' than abstract thinker. So being alpha male and running a dominance hierarchy is a popular way of running the world. Even in business, they talk of 'owning' markets and customers. That's crazy.

So, try using a bit of your 'freedom' in the USA and see where you fit on the dominance hierarchy. You are free to do only what the bossy monkeys permit you to do. Meanwhile, anything profitable you do, they'll take nearly half of it for themselves and their buddies.

Yep, those fundamental Rabbis and Ayotollahs sure are cranks!

Anyway, I'm just stopping in for a quick check of Globalstar which I heard got a bit exciting today [new all time high at $38 on a GG 'head fake'].

Summer calls,

GG = George Gilder.
