 Lawrence Gowan, is a Canadian musician, performer.

Strange Animal, one of the most popular songs by Canadian (Scottish born)rock-star, known as Gowan,  in 1985 he shot to fame with (You're A) Strange Animal, Gowan being his first album, of 'progressive rock'. I saw him in concert, and watched his videos on MTV. He entertained many people with his great voice and lively, athletic stage performances. I'm most inspired today by his lyrics ...  Another one of his chart topping hits was "Criminal Mind". I think he is still a 'hero' for people today especially in his native Canada. Gowan became lead vocalist and keyboardist of the group Styx in 1999. He also had a couple of movies.

The American- born Jew who owns a penthouse in upscale whatever, New York, has no business going to Israel to settle. The black African American likewise has no reason to go there, even if there’s irrefutable evidence that he is a descendant of Jacob. 

NOT IF he wants to occupy the Palestinians’ land. In that case we must absolutely reject any such claim to a “right of return”.

But many of the so-called Jewish ‘Diaspora’ would gleefully (as do many Israelis) take the place of Palestinians, who have always lived on the land they occupy and own for centuries. The Arab, while he sits on the rubble of his newly destroyed home, a distinctively humble dwelling, no longer worth the bricks and mortar with which it was built, unrepresentative of his natural pride, representative of lost hope and the all too common weapon of collective punishment used by the foreign occupiers, is struck down, not only physically wounded, unbelieving perhaps, but in obvious shock at his recent fate.

Is this what the non-believers ignorantly defend as “survival of the fittest”?

It is the kind of thing that makes a distinction between man and animal less possible. If we behave like beasts do we merely choose to be like them, or do we dare to evolve into a new kind of animal?
