after listening to zencast.org a lot, I think I understand why so so many Jews become Buddhists. It is the exact opposite. Judaism is all about clinging, and Buddhism is all about "letting go". Sorry to over-simplify, but this is important. I read this fascinating piece in the New Yorker about a Hungarian right-wing extremist anti-Semite who ultimately discovered his grandmother was a Holocaust survivor. He contactacted a Lubavitz rabbi and converted in a big way. "God bless him", is all I can say.
I thhink that.s a little exrteme, but you know that I believe in honoring one's forebears, so go for it -- better than the alternative, which is mass hatred and violence.
This is an idea blog. The intention was to kick-start discussions about ideas, but it has turned into my catch-all blog. I cannot take responsibility for any posts or comments other than my own, nor for where the links take you. If you are offended by what I say, you can let me know. Otherwise you are on your own. Not intended for children or the thin-skinned. Tell it like it is...

The number of times I get asked for "secret" information is astounding.
Isn't it? Iheard a great interview the other day with s "security expert" who was asked about those comanies that claim to be able to "secure your information online" or "in the cloud"
