"I'm just realizing that I havent seen one of those street "preachers" of this sect yelling at passersby for a while now. They used to be everywhere in NYC."
I've noticed that too. They used to always be blocking sidewalks around Herald Square or Times Square.
It was always so sad because one preacher would be standing there yelling how they were the true Jews and then he would tell the other to read from the Bible. The other could barely read and it would take him forever to read one verse. Then the preacher would see a black woman walk by and yell at her that she shouldn't be dressed like that. It was interesting street theater.
If anyone ever tells you that you put too much Parmesan cheese on your pasta, stop talking to them. You don't need that kind of negativity in your life.
