The Rabbi Speaks

I've been trying to stay away (from the J-Bloggosphere in general) but I wanted to at least link to Rabbi Fred's new column for those who don't read him on a regular basis. It's a must-see on the national character of Western society, and most particularly America. On a related note, I've been doing lots of thinking and reading on the decadence and decline of Western society lately, and the verdict isn't pretty. Perhaps some thoughts on this in the future.
