corporations

 

Here's how corporations work. With vaccines, you cannot sue the vaccine makers so you are relying on their integrity to make safe vaccines. But corporate chiefs oftentimes have no conscience. 

It's the tone

 KEEPING GOOD COMPANY

We can understand why Eisov wanted to come out, but Yaakov was being taught Torah by an angel at the time, so why would he have wanted to come out? The Brisker Rov is said to have commented that even being taught Torah by an angel is not worthwhile at the cost of having to live in close quarters with an evil person. Even though there was no obvious detrimental effect, just being in close proximity to a person like Eisov is damaging, especially for someone like Yaakov, whose image is engraved underneath the Kisei Hakavod.

Rav Sternbuch was once asked whether a child should be sent to a cheder with excellent teachers and a very high academic level, but the class in question also has some boys with bad middos, or to another institution with a much lower level of learning but in which the boys in the class did not have bad middos and came from strong homes. Rav Sternbuch instructed the parent to choose the institution with the better boys because that was the most important issue, since even a minority of children with bad middos can have a very detrimental effect on their friends.

listen to your rav? maybe not

Does it have to be EVERY TIME?

The name Harlan Ellison doesn't sound Jewish to me, at least not the Harlan part. So when I read this, I figured we were dealing with a low class Southern gentile. But no.

Who is the rudest celebrity you have met, and who would be the nicest?

The rudest was celebrity I ever met Harlan Ellison. My husband, a famous science fiction author, introduced me to Harlan Ellison, also a famous science fiction writer. I was about five months pregnant at the time, and Ellison said, “You got him trapped, didn’t you?” My husband came close to socking him. At a conference several months later, my husband was on a panel discussion and I was in the audience. When Ellison had his turn to speak, every third word had four letters. The entire audience as shocked. When one lady left, Ellison yelled at her that she had a weak bladder.

The nicest was Robert Heinlein, also a science fiction writer. I can’t even count the number of kindnesses he and his wife Virginia bestowed on us. Theodore Sturgeon, author of “More Than Human”, came in a close second.

--------------------

Ellison was born to a Jewish family^[8] in Cleveland, Ohio, on May 27, 1934, the son of Serita (née Rosenthal) and Louis Laverne Ellison, a dentist and jeweler.

Heinlein, born on July 7, 1907, to Rex Ivar Heinlein (an accountant) and Bam Lyle Heinlein, in Butler, Missouri, was the third of seven children. He was a sixth-generation German-American; a family tradition had it that Heinleins fought in every American war, starting with the War of Independence.
