Re: Yerushalayim shel zahav and off-topic

[Robert Cohen <rlcm17...>]

I heartily agree w/ Sylvia's perspective (on Jerusalem, today's Left, 
etc.)--I now realize that I'm responding today to two posts of hers--but 
just want to add--only tweakingly!--that if Sylvia is correct that the 
Jewish population of Y. is four times as great as that of any other group, 
then if there were (G*d forbid) no Jews in Jerusalem, that means *80%* of 
"your public is absent"!

I know, lighten up...

everyone knows mathematics and music are deeply related and intertwined
