Shalom Chiam, kol tuv
Before I begin, I forgot to mention energy independence as one of my goals in the U.S senate. I completely agree with what you said about the older generation of Sicilians, I grew up with them. My father is an older guy (pushing 70) and he came here when he was 27 with most of his family. They grew up in post WWII Siciliy so they have a very different mentality than the newer generation of Italians in America. It really makes my blood boil when I see Italian kids my age dressed like monkeys, listening to jungle music and trying to act tough when it's not necessary just because they saw it in a Mafia movie. And it's not just the Italians, it's Irish, Greek and Jewish kids too! The guys are ignorant morons, and the girls are sluts. When I see people who come from such great cultures, and want to imitate these beasts, it's a disgrace. I can't take it anymore, that's part of the reason why I want to run for senate. It's also the stories I hear from my mother (American born, Czech background) about the "good old days". Why can't the good days be now? I want to see safe, clean neighborhoods, and homes that are affordable NOW... not in some mysterious time and place from the past.
Thanks for your advise on running for senate! If you can think of anymore advise let me know, I will probably need plenty !
Also thank you for your Hebrew blessings on my birthday!
