There are life questions that will never be answered except on faith. For some, it is faith in a God who has an ultimate plan for the travelers of this planet, for each individual, as we journey over the roads of life. For others, including myself, it is faith in the human spirit, that men and women are good, that we make our own future, that there really is no plan. In my own case, as a Jew and a Humanist (yes, they can co-exist), I am more concerned about the here-and-now as opposed to the hereafter. I am also a great believer in the holy writ of our Constitution and the Bill of Rights.
