From her Wikipedia page:-

she disliked Trotsky as much as Franco, and Roosevelt as much as either, and she referred to liberals ... as ‘people with unhappy childhoods’. It was a position that irritated her friends. When William Rogers sent her a packet of American corn seeds and warned her not to give any of the corn to her fascist neighbours in Bilignin, Gertrude returned the gift with a request: ‘please send us unpolitical corn.’ Why shouldn’t she give her friends the corn, she asked, ‘why not if the fascists like it and we like the fascists ...’

Con, what are you trying to say?  That Gertrude Stein was a Jew in the world of 20th Century French art who was also substantially harmless?  That she represents a way of looking at Jews that is different to the standard WN model?  What?  Explain yourself.

Gertrude Stein’s famous quote: “A rose is a rose is a rose.”

Yes, that’s implicit in my comment.  I’m just trying to unearth why you would consider the bowlderisation of dearest Gertrude’s oft-repeated remark worthwhile.  I mean, there’s nothing worthwhile in stating at MR that a people is a people.  We do know that, after all.  That can’t be it, regardless of the literative and alliterative temptations.  So you must mean something else, yes?

According to Stephen Hawking, a perfect vacuum is not possible. He obviously never looked inside Hoffshyster’s head.

Seems to a melike personage jew Stein’s comment flips, dare I say jews, Shakespeare’s ‘a rose by any other name…’ Stein would be pushing rose as social construct. We, society, conspire to agree the ‘rose’-it stinks sweet, signifies romance. If the rose could move, Steinim would accuse it of anti-semitism, its scent a figment out of the burlap bag of floral privilege. Might be wrong, don’t know from Stein, too many other shit jew writers not to read. I have no idea what the Hoff is saying, like him. Something flashed through his mindlet like one of those disappearing subatomic sparks; excited he recorded it. On the page it deaded out. Ah, but for every page that scintillates, a thousand must crumple.
