Tom,

At the risk of starting a flame war here (My gosh, I've already been
called a Weenie.) and continuing to respond to a troll, I'll respond
one final time.

If you go to the Snopes site you will see this issue explained nicely;
please do so.   As many untruths are, this bit of fiction is based on
a bit of fact. Start with a fact so you sound credible, then go off
with the fiction and hope nobody notices.

Yes, some products do have a K or U to designate kosher. Is there a
charge for this service?  Yes, but it's a voluntary cost.  There is
the fact to give some credibility to the story, and now it's time to
deviate to fiction and inflammatory drivel.   But is this a tax?  Of
course not, a tax is imposed by the government. Is there a threat of a
complete Jewish boycott if the product is not labeled kosher?  I've
never heard any evidence to support this.  If you have some, please
provide it.  Is this money siphoned off for some devious purpose? 
Again, please provide evidence.  And the kosher symbols are now a
"point of irritation to some Jews."  If this is true, please again
please provide the evidence for this claim.  If you or the Jews who
are irritated by this don't wish to support it, simply write a letter
to the company and boycott the product.  Case closed.  But don't post
your anti-Semitic diatribe here and try to hide it as a frugal,
cost-cutting measure.

By the way, I believe you've been taken-in by somebody who knows that
what he's writing isn't all truth.  If you speak Spanish, take a look
at the author's name.  It translates to Ernesto One-Hundred-Fires.  He
runs around starting all these fires, one hundred of them, and laughs
at the problems he has caused.  He's laughing his head off at you
right now.

I may be wrong and you were not taken-in by this bit of fiction and
are instead a true believer in what you write.  If this is the case,
then you are either a troll who writes very poorly or a neo-Nazi. (If
you are a neo-Nazi, it's simply a given that you will write poorly.)
If either is the case, please go crawl back under your rock or back to
your corner bar and leave this n.g. to the rest of us who can and do
think.

Ken
