A little lesson for ROFF....

Here was a guy who, for many years, honestly adhered to one political philosophy
and in a short period of time, did an about-face. Does it matter from which he
came to which he went? No, not in my opinion because he, from all I could tell,
put some thought into his decision, weighing the good (and the bad) in the
former and the good (and the bad) in latter, and made a personal decision. Was
he right or wrong?

Yeah, probably....

IAC, RIP Ron...

What's the lesson ? Is it that 9/11 scared the liberal out of a
Jewish guy or that the GOP is a better friend to Israel during
turbulent times ?

Nope. And neither happened with Silver. He still believed in and supported
many "liberal" causes and organizations, but if you will, apparently found the
hypocrisy in the Dem party and its "circles" to be less than that of the GOP and
its "circles."

And why would roff need either of those lessons ?

At any rate, he was a good actor.

Alav ha-shalom.
