Living in America is Stupid.

I must say that every time I see a map of Israel, video from Israel, or hear any news from Israel, I get this overwhelming understanding of how absolutely ridiculous it is that we live in America now. What on earth are we thinking, and how can we possibly correlate our perpetual yearning for the Holy Land, our 3,000 year yearning, and our cushy, cushy lives here in the States? And thanks very much, but Moshiach probably doesn't want us to cover for our own fears and insecurities by saying we're waiting for him to bring us home, as if that were ever a Jewish value. "Oh, I don't think I'll go to work today, I'll just wait for Moshiach to bring me a brisket." And those of us who aren't yet religious, no matter who you are, no matter how your non-Jewish friends love you, no matter who you're dating or what philosophies you subscribe to, you're Jewish and there's no way for you to ever change it, so you'd better start learning about who you are - life's too short to fake or avoid it.

Let's get out of here, people. It's time to go.
