Quotes

 * There is a jewish strategy. The great part of the jewish strategy is that most of it is pretty much open source. If you want to push your children really, really hard to survive and if you want to tell them "You've got a dragon breathing fire down the back of your neck because you've always been oppressed and you never know when you have to leave very quickly on short notice", you can duplicate the jewish experience. Good luck!
