		<description>Modernity,

I Always enjoy what you have to say at Harrys Place

Your past seems similar to mine. Our history shares real real degrading poverty within living memory. And it does effect your political beliefs.

I dont want to butt in if this is the wrong place but are you happy to discuss our different views when it comes to linking to neo-Nazi web sites. I said some things at Harrys Place which I regret, but other things that I really believe and I would like to talk about them. If this is inappropriate no problem. At least I now know how to spell etiquette.

Also my asshole flatmates sometimes comment under my name as a way of mocking my political beliefs so anything that has been said by donaldbane at Harrys Place is not necessarily by me.

I assume you are from a Jewish background. I am not. I am Irish Catholic West Coast Scotland immigrant &#039;scum&#039;. Och,  there is so much I want to say. But to start, i work shifts so our conversation (if you are happy to continue with it) may be somewhat stillted.

Is it Ok to post my questions here? No problem if not.</description>

		<description>Your list seems authentic, straight from the gut. A very honest summation of influences, either adopted or rejected. Who I am is also a measure of who I am not.  And who I am not is pretty much evidenced in the leaders and thinkers I loathe. 

The Hebrew poet Shaul Tchevikhovski wrote a poem which begins with: A man is nothing if not an impression of the native landscape of his youth. 

The first three items of your list explain this primary landscape and the last three explain how you have transcended it. It may not have been your intention, but yours is a poetic perspective. Very nice.</description>
