let's try to do nuance

Mike, this is getting ridiculous!  I really can't
answer questions that have no basis in any knowledge
other than a set-in-stone, vituperative point of view.
 So rather than answer your questions, I will tell you
a little bit about myself and my sisters.  

First of all, the Plowman girls are all pretty
consciously psychic.  Which is to say, we are privy to
circumstances, feelings, vibes, future events, AND
past ones, by virtue of staying in touch with that
part of ourselves.  It can happen in waking life as
well as in the dream world.  I would think that
everyone has this same capacity, but most don't access
it.  With good reason.  Sometimes it can be scary.

Two of my sisters, the one in question, as well as
another, believe they were burned in the ovens as Jews
in their lifetime immediately previous to this one. 
I, however, was a Buddhist monk, traveling on the
Asian island I lived on.  We had camped in a bombed
out temple for the night.  I hated women in that
lifetime, considering them the lowest of the low,
which accounts for my having the sexism problem I have
in this lifetime.  I perceive myself as a man in a
woman's body, but I'm a homosexual man, so I love men.
 Sounds weird, I know.  But anyway, we were bombed
again in that temple, and I went skyrocketing up to
come down, very ambivalently, I might add, into my
mother's womb in the Philippines.  My parents spent
four years in the Philippines in a Japanese prison
camp where both I and my older sister were born.

This same older sister emigrated to Israel as a Jew.  
She lived in Eilat for eight years and taught in
kubbutzi, speaks Hebrew (I'll be YOU don't!), had a
beautiful girl child by an Iraqi Jew whom she adored. 
I would say, if anything, my sisters are products of
my parents' view--having known people from the world
over--they love ALL people.

My mother lived in Japan for seven years previous to
WWII and corresponded after the war with many Japanese
friends she had there.  She returned in the 80s to
Japan to see them again and stayed for two years. 
This is after having been virtually starved to death
by them.  They ate slugs fried in cold cream,
grasshoppers, anything they could get their hands on. 
My father weighed 75 lbs. when we were liberated.

Hate is too ennervating an emotion to allow oneself to
indulge in.  I, personally, am estranged from it,
thankfully.  I may not be thrilled with cops (or
authority of any kind), but that's just because I'm a
hardhead and can't stand people telling me what to
do--but hate? I don't think so.

Please know that there are a million ways to skin a
cat, a million points of view, not one of them the
"truth", except to the person who perceives them. 
Your truth is yours and you're entitled to it.  My
truth is mine and I'm entitled to it.  You can call it
what you like, I can call yours what I like, but will
that really change anything or make any kind of
difference? I think not.  Rather than engage in a
useless badinage, let's just be who we are and allow
others the same.

But may you not hate too much, it's bad for the soul
(I know, you don't believe in its existence.  Oh,
well, so be it).
