There are too many people I haven’t wished a happy new year, too many people I wanted to see this year that I haven’t had the strength for.  It’s too early to start over again.  Let’s postpone this new year a week – what do you say?

Anyway this isn’t supposed to be the time for new year – we’re seven months too late.  

So time is relative, right?

More than that, I’m not ready for the attacks on Ben Gurion.  He’s being blamed from the right and left for leading us into this complicated situation.  Maybe after we fall apart we’ll start longing for him.  The wonderful little statue of him standing on his head on the beach was just torched.

Yes, we’ll reconstruct it – but will we reconstruct the respect we had for our leaders.  They’ve all be deconstructed to such a point that we have nothing holding us together but hate.  I’m not ready for it.
