What is right is not always legal, and what is legal is not always right. The law which triples the penalty if the motive for the crime is hate for a specific group is not right since it no longer correlates the penalty to the severity of the crime but to motive. Only God sees the innermost of our heart where we hide our true feelings. This law gives to the judges all knowing...
Letters to the Marshfield News-Herald
Editor MNH: Running for school board I was interviewed. This interview was subsequently written up in the MNH, March 30, 2000. The reporter, Ms. E. did an excellent job keeping straight what I said. However one sentence I did not like: “German nativc M. has long been known for her adamant denial of the Holocaust.” Denial deals with our emotions. It implies a guilt which can not be faced and is...

Let’s compare! Ernst Zundel, married to an American citizen, immigrated to the US legally in 2000. He had a health check, was immunized and finger printed as required by INS rules. He was given a social security number, a work permit, and had a Tennessee driver’s license. On 2/5/2003 two police officers and three INS agents came to his door, handcuffed him and took him to...

In front of me is the article “American Jews wrestle with old question: Reconcile with Germany (MNH, February 9, 2002)?” I have the same question, except that the parties are reversed “Germans wrestle with old question: Reconcile with Judea?” Jewish author, Alan Dershowitz, writes “ ..individual Jews dominate television, film, book publishing, newspapers, magazine advertising,...

MF has a new association “The MF Social Justice Group (MSJG).” In February this group plans to have a multi-cultural happening with ethnic food, ethnic dances, etc. These international fairs are fun. But what do they have to do with justice? The quest for justice should be a heavy obligation born by everyone. Rachel Corrie felt that obligation and acted on it. She stood in...

In his book “A Moral Reckoning” Daniel J. Goldhagen claims that Christians look upon Jews as Christ killers. That was not in my catechism; neither did Reverend Sondtheimer, in his sermons, nor during religious classes make such an association. While mass was celebrated in Latin the Epistle and Gospel were read in German. By the end of the church year we therefore had heard...

Since J.L. in her article “Rabbi plays role in kosher food-making process” (MNH 3/6/2006) did not mention anything about the cost of the kosher symbol to the company, I went to the yellow pages and called the dairies listed. I had two questions. Are your products listed as kosher? If the answer was yes; how much does the kosher symbol cost you? The manager of only one...

When an Arabic couple have their first child, the husband and wife forsake their own given name and take on the title Abu/father and Um/mother plus the name of their first born. With the birth of a child the parents see themselves no longer as individuals, with selfish needs and wants, but identify themselves with the child, the connection to the future and thereby the...

7/27/99 Editor N.H.: After the Roman emperor, Caligula (12 A.D. - 41 A.D.), had been assassinated the Senate with the belated courage of the cowards toward the defeated and the dead pronounced the "damnatio memoriae". This meant that Caligula's name was erased from all documents and his pictures and statues removed from all temples and public places. Caligula was most likely criminally insane...

“What’s in a name” Juliet asks on the balcony and continues on “That which we call a rose by any other name would smell as sweet.” That is true enough, but who would pluck a rose and put it to his nose if it were called - stinkweed? A name change goes hand in hand with a change in perception. In his article to the Marshfield News-Herald (6/18/03) “New Freedom Riders seek...
