COMMENT:
Mike Cohen said, "I thank the folks who put up with my nature-connected
activities and "roped me" into this proclamation. I think it's
funny in comparison to the latest discovery in my saga, Lt. Col. Alexander
Vindman. Compare how he was dressed when he was identified as a hero
and
note this connection I have made with him in the last few weeks: this
U.S. Army official is a Jewish immigrant from Kiev, Ukraine. He said that he
is grateful his family fled to the United States some 40 years ago, a
place “where I can live free of fear for mine and my family’s
safety.” He then spoke to his late father, saying “Dad, my
sitting here today is proof that you made the right decision 40 years
ago to leave the Soviet Union.”

Here's the connection (from Climate Therapy: The Heartfelt Art and Science of Revolutionary Wisdom, by Michael J. Cohen)
"Like any and every other person, I was biologically born of, with and
as the same balanced and peaceful truth of the life of Nature that
thrives in natural areas, things and people. In me its buried
integrity lay abused and injured from the traumatic effects of the
decapitation of my Jewish grandparent’s Jewish friend during the 1900
Russian pogroms in Odessa, Ukraine. They
fled this disaster by
immigrating to America where I was brought up aware, sensitive to, and
defensive of abuse to my life as a Jew, even though it was a religion I
seldom practiced. In 1938 such abuse was not unknown in my
neighborhood. I remember that people attached to Gerald L.K. Smith and
Father Coughlan beat the local rabbi with a rubber hose and got away
with it since it left no bruises. I avoided these menaces by spending
my time with friends in local natural areas where I loved to be; a
vacant lot forest of towering sunflowers along with a rusty trashed
stove comes to mind.
When I was six, in 1936, during my first year of school, a
legally required “abuse” of my left-handed biology made me
uncomfortable. It was a rule that required that I, along with
everybody else, write with my right hand. My posture, speech, happiness
and family relationships deteriorated in response to it. In my distress,
I discovered and defended a great trustable truth of my life, I was
left-handed by nature and I was positive of it. That was an identity liferaft.
Although, over three years, my family worked out a
technological solution, a fountain pen, for the school’s unreasonable
“writing righty” requirement, I remained acutely aware of my “lefty”
truth being discriminated against and it upset me. To avoid its
discomfort, I designed part of my life to protecting and strengthening
my “great lefty truth” when possible. One helpful defense was that
Lefty Gomez was an all-star pitcher for the New York Yankees.
Other left-handers in my school classes were evidently not as
sensitive to the school’s right-handed intrusion of their personal
nature. They did not “righteously” resist becoming righty’s then and no
doubt capitulated to other questionable demands as well. In the process
they lost some of their natural lefty truth. That they were not as
self-protective as I was about being lefty was an outcome of my family
wisely being caring and careful, on-the-alert, persecuted Jewish
immigrants.
In hindsight, my "wisely being careful" revolutionary roots help explain how they led me to reasonably validate and defend Planet Earth as a living organism in 1965. This is why I can be my unusual natural-world self today and scientifically assist others to do the same."
