Comment Info and Policy:
1) You must have Javascript enabled in your browser in order to comment (blame the spammers). If you don't know what that is, you're probably fine.
2) HTML is on, so basic html should work. Raw links will be made auto-clickable, too, so even if you don't know html you can just paste in the link and it should work fine. Keep the "http://" in it.
3) Comments are generally unmoderated, which means I don't necessarily agree with the tone and tenor of everything posted. In fact, sometimes people post things they don't really mean just to make other people look bad. The internet is an anonymous place for the most part. That said...
4) I welcome you to post here. I'd love to have your input, agree, disagree or just offer a different data point, really. If I didn't want any participation, I'd turn off comments. Be aware, however, that this blog and the comments section exist for my entertainment. Therefore, I reserve ALL RIGHTS here, including the right to remove any or all comments on nothing more than a whim. Please don't even bother complaining. I'm the one providing the space and the free news and thought buffet. I don't owe anyone anything.
Anyone who posts here will be treated as my guest. That means I'm happy to be polite as a default, but if anyone is rude to the host they'll be unceremoniously shown the door.
It may pay to recall a famous line from the Tom Selleck magnum opus, Mr. Baseball: "Jack-san, you want Yoji's advice about the babes, you come to Yoji with respect."
5) Enjoy your stay!
That's a great link at Jeremayakovka's blog.
Thanks for the mention, Solomon. I just discovered Yaacov Ben Moshe's examination of his good intentions of years past.
I picked up Hannah's Origins of Totalitarianism yesterday (she & I are on a first-name basis -:) ) and noticed in its first chapter she emphasizes the importance of understanding the exact nature of antisemitism: not just its sources but why it takes hold among populations; and Jews's misreading of it.
Taking cues from that chapter are imperative, imperative right now.
It is powerful to have beliefs and to stand up for them. It is more powerful to have values and to express them clearly in your actions. It is especially powerful when such a one as JMK is able to let his core (very Jewish)values interact with the truth and thereby drive and evolve his public beliefs.
