ART AND LIFE - WHAT IMITATES WHAT?

     Well, I'll be! Just sat thru the movie Star Wars - go see it - and as I watched, enthralled, one half of my brain was retroing right back to classroom teacher days. The metaphor, the allegorical connection to real life, our life, was stunning.
     The movie is essentially a form of the centuries old battle between good and evil. At times evil is on top, wins via nefarious and evil deeds, through killing and sly plans, through masks worn over their true selves, the misuse of The Force, but in the end, it is good that wins, for that is the True Force, the Force of Light, while Evil is the force of Darkness and Treachery.
     So what is the connection to life? Well, it is right here in our own CV. Darth Vader is gone, and a weaker, distorted version of Evil remains in the uberlord, Snork (so close to Snark that one sees the point) and Vader's grandson, Hans Solo's son with Princess Leia. She has morphed into General Leia for at times force, strength, is needed to combat the Evil in the world. And our face of evil here? Guess!
     The faces of the evil ones are hidden behind masks and uniformity - of dress, of vision and even of lack of vision. The are ruled by evil men who want only power, only to kill the remnants of the Empire, to burn everything and anything in their way. Yet at the same time they know that the Force that resides in the Empire can beat them so they are desperate to kill them for once and for all. They are running scared. They do not accept the diversity of the Empire, the free discussion and exchange of ideas. Just like here in CV.
     Running scared. That is exactly what we have here in CV. David Israel is running scared because he is frightened, scared to the bottom of his soul - if he has any left - because Phyllis Richland is opposing him in this election. He knows that she has The Force, the Force of Light and Goodness and there are no masks over her supporters. Those masks that we see here in the Village are worn over the faces of those who abet the Evil, thinking that no one will recognize them and what they truly are. Hate to tell you guys, but wake up!! We all know who and what you truly are and what you represent.
     And how do we know they are truly evil? How do we know they are scared? How do we know they are desperate? Simple. I will explain. David Israel sits in that back room of his and tap, tap, taps away, looking for ways to harm and hurt, to trick and just be plain old nasty. David Israel also hates the synagogue outside the gates of the Village simply because two years ago I opposed him as there was no one else bold enough to do so at the time and then he came up with a conspiracy theory, one that fits right in with today's anti - Semitism. He claimed that the "Orthodox" Jews were in a cabal, a plot to take over the Village. Nasty, yes. Evil, yes. True - NO!! But since then he has had an animus towards this synagogue and ventures at times to throw a brick or two their way. There were rumbles over the use of the gate, letting it be open with ID having to be shown at certain times over the Sabbath. He, a self hating Jew, the worst kind of human one can find, even proposed an important meeting on Yom Kippur, the holiest and most solemn day of the year for Jews and a day on which most would never have attended - leaving it free and clear for him to rule the roost.
     But this was not enough for David Israel, he who shames the very name he bears. Two times a complaint was made to Code Enforcement, complaints about the banner hung on the fence of the synagogue, complaints about the very sign announcing the name of the synagogue and anything else he could find by looking through State regs about signs and forcing Code Enforcement to act, for example, on the synagogue sign that has hung there for decades.
     Who was the complainant? "Peyton Israel Savid" and on further investigation, we have it on excellent authority that the complainant was DAVID ISRAEL, a man with no soul, a man who hates himself, a man with no heart or a blackened remnant of one. A coward, as most evil people are, too afraid and too dishonest to use his real name.
     This is the man who is running scared, who  behaved in the worst way one person can behave towards his people, and that is to be a "malshin" - a liar and bearer of nasty statements, a person who is looking to make trouble. There is a prayer said three times a day called the Amidah and in it is a plea to G-d to rescue us from "malshinim", added in a historical period of many such people. It must be hard, David Israel, to look in the mirror and know that one has no soul, no self value, no friends other than those who suck on his toes, trying to reflect some of his power on themselves, no life other than one to cause trouble. It is at this point in time that we usually take stock of our lives and try to improve on what we have done wrong before, to try to gain some  points when we undergo our final evaluation. I pity you!
     And to make it worse for you, two of the strongest characters who beat back the Evil and Dark Force were women, and we are women here, Phyllis Richland leading the charge, David Israel, so hear us roar - along with all our supporters. You know what you are and you know what you have done. So just remember the name I called you before and I truly hope that indeed, 200 million people read of your nastiness, of your lack of heart and soul, of your evil design and acts and hey, I have readers in Hong Kong, Botswana, Russia, the Ukraine, Canada, France and the list goes on and on. Let them all know who and what you truly are.
