“Well, we have the leverage in the sense that we supply all the wherewithal...or a major part of the wherewithal to finance or to pay for everything Israel does. We don't have any leverage in the sense that Israel controls the Senate. The Senate is at least...a subservient, in my opinion, much too much. We should be more concerned about the United States' interest, rather than doing the bidding of Israel.

“The man, or the boy, in his development is psychologically deterred from incorporating serving characteristics by an easily observable fact: there are already people around who are clearly meant to serve and they are girls and women.

This has been made a terrifying prospect and has been made to constitute a major threat to masculine identity.” PeopleThinkingMenHas BeensMadeFactsGirlWomenBoysRiskIdentityHe ManDevelopmentActivityMajorsThreatOneselfCharacteristicsServingMasculineIncorporating Book:Toward a New Psychology of Women Source: Toward a New Psychology of Women
