“Growing up after the Second World War in a Jewish family, I really understand that, and have members of my family who are very committed to this concept. My grandfather's first name was Israel and he thought it was his country. In my own sense of this issue as an American Jew, I have been on both sides of this. At this point I think it is very important for there to be separation of religion and state. It's not good for Jews. It's not good for Muslims. It's not good for Christians. The marriage of state and religion is inherently problematic.” ThinkingWorldFirstsHas BeensImportantWarCountryStatesChristianNamesSidesMy OwnGrowing UpIssuesGrowingMembersConceptsMy FamilyCommittedJewIsraelSeparationWar Of The WorldsWorld War IGrandfatherBoth SidesMy GrandfatherSecond World WarJewish Family Author:Jill Stein
“There was sort of a negative association with the military. Maybe growing up in the South or being in a family with members of the military, I didn't have that negative connotation, but I did have this 'separate' connotation. I was ashamed to realize I had it and did not realize I had it until I was [in Iraq]. I was so impressed by the people I met over there and there was just a sense of connection and gratitude towards those people.” PeopleRealizingGrowing UpGrowingMilitaryGratitudeMetsMembersNegativeConnectionsSouthIraqAshamedAssociationImpressedConnotation Author:Stephen Colbert
“It's amazing being a member of perhaps the last analog generation - being born in the late '40s, growing up in the '50s and '60s, when it was still a very analog world. And in New Orleans those days, the country was just next door, as it were. You didn't have to travel miles and miles to get out in the woods. There's tons of fishing, obviously, in New Orleans, and tons of hunting. That was part of the cycle of life, to get fresh meat from the butcher or go duck hunting and get it yourself. It wasn't malicious or insensitive. It was just there, and you used it.” WorldStillsCountryLastsUsedNextBornGrowing UpGrowingGenerationsDoorsMembersLateWoodsMilesMeatFishingCyclesHuntingDucksNew OrleansButchersMaliciousInsensitiveAnalogCycle Of LifeDuck Hunting Author:John Larroquette
