IR Introspection Time!

I know, I know....updates on London coming soon, complete with pictures if you're lucky. But, for now, I am up waaay too late. I've successfully messed with my sleep schedule to the point where I think that jet lag has become ingrained in me. I do not even know what to do with myself. But! Here is what I came here for: I was doing some research on that Birthright trip to Israel (don't ask....), and then I somehow was just following random links involving Judaism, and I stumbled upon something that spurred me to action! I even posted a comment on this person's opinion blog! Anyway, there was a big uproar over this article in the Washington Post by Gandhi's grandson, or something. Read it here.

The comments there are very interesting, but the comments on the original blog where I first learned about this were what really annoyed me. They seemed to be all uniformly attacking the author, attacking him as a person and attacking his intelligence. I...found it a little disturbing? I hope that no one responds offensively to my comment, because I honestly do not know what to say about this. I just wrote that I respected where everyone was coming from, but I think that we all need to take a step back and stop taking cheap shots at each other. Then, we need to realize that more than one person can be right at a time. But I'd better not start, otherwise I'll get carried away. But I'm curious what people think about this article, the wording, etc. The author apparently had to put out an apology about his "poor wording", which was very interesting. Anyway.

Time for bed! Miss you all terribly! Kisses!
