If Judy thinks we can agree the Puritans were right to leave, the European
Jews were right to leave as well. Europe was much harsher than the new
world. As harsh as the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries were in
America to the Jews, it still was a kinder, gentler world -- with more hope
and potential for a good life. (I'm not sure how seriously to take Robert's
comments. He seems to have turned into a comedian of sorts.)

Hmmm. I think we can agree the Puritans were right to leave.
(Goodness. That was a close one.)

The Irish should have stayed home and remonstrated with the English, just as the European Jews should have marched in the streets to abolish the ghettos. As for the Puritans.
