    “Respect for All ” Ah, Yes, Recchia and his cronies, had something like that going with
    “The Council For Unity” in the old, and infamous Community Board #21. Certainly admirable goals, that most of us aspire to, in a background that we always thought sprung from a belief in E Pluribus Unum?! Only caveat and irony being, this Senatorial race, between Fidler and Storobin, where each of them had seem to fall over one another, in pursuit of the Us versus Them strategy. Right, we must appeal to the “Black Hats”. You kind of wonder if these two ever actually go outside and walk our streets, and see the actual ethnic and religious rainbow of constituents, that is our wonderful community. A shameful campaign from both sides, that is a significant embarassment for our community, and for this American Jew!

    I’m glad that bullying is finally coming to the forefront as a significant issue as it should be.

       I was a victim as a youth, and I didn’t take it nearly as bad as what I read. But I do know what it’s like, and it can affect one for the rest of his life.

       I can talk about this subject for a very long  time, but I’ll just leave it at this: it’s got to be stopped, I’ve seen lives ruined, and I”m not talking about the major cases you read about; there’s plenty you don’t read about.
