Continuation of Yishai's last post
Based on William Wallaces great speech from "Braveheart", I will address my American brothers:
Many years from now, swimming in your pools in Florida and eating Jerusalem II Pizza on Broadway, would you be willing, to trade all the days, from this day 'till that, to come here, make Aliyah, and tell our enemies that we are finally home?
We don't mind Israeli indifference, bureaucracy, underpants (we import Hanes), drivers etc. Because we're home. It is like one who can live with ugly ceramic tiles and a rotting kitchen counter top for years- because it is home, but he will complain that the carpet is stained in a hotel. Leave the swimming pools and the corvettes, come home to outrageous income tax and post offices that are never open. But come home.
As a wise man once said: "Trade your Profits for Prophets".

I love the Braveheart quote adaptation. I'm gonna have to use that on some friends still in America!

Speaking of 24 (above) and adapted quotes (as well as an unnamed third work of art), check out this eulogy for Graem Bauer:
Graem was a good conspirator, and a good man. He was one of us. He was a man who loved the outdoors... and conspiring, and as an executive he secured defense contracts with all branches of the nation's military- from the Army to the Navy and... up to... the Coast Guard. He died, like so many young conspirators of his generation, he died before his time. In your wisdom, Lord, you took him, as you took so many bright flowering young conspirators like Nina Myers, Marianne Taylor and Walt Cummings. These young conspirators gave their lives. And so would Graem. Graem, who loved defense contracts. And so, Graem "Gray" Bauer, in accordance with what we think your dying wishes might well have been, we commit your final mortal remains to the bosom of a cruise missile warhead, which you sold to the government so well. Goodnight, sweet prince."
