A few days ago a friend sent me a link to a site, as a matter of fact he sent it to a whole group of us. After clicking on the iste to get more information it asked me to "register." I'm a sucker, so I did fill in the requested informatiion. As a newly minted member of the World of Soul Motorcycole group, I learned of a support mission for an effort by Operation PUSH. My fellow "friends" bombarded me with comments regarding Jesse Jackson and anti semitism, etc, etc., etc...
Despite their comments I showed up to this event that promotes kids from the inner city to visit colleges and universities outside of the area. It was not about Jesse Jackson, but about kids. I was really discouraged that others felt the way they do as adults but not recognize the needs of kids.
I strongly feel that my responsibility as an adult is to make sure the next generation is educated, capable of rational thoughts, and knowledgable about how to make the world a better place to live. I don't think our senior years should be devoted fuming about differtences as adults. Debate, yes, but knee jerk reactions are really so passe.
With a kilt, you are automatically a Scotsman, at least in "spirit." The tartan here was designed by Rabbi Mendal Jacobs and contains the colors blue and white of both the Israel and Scottish flags. A gold stripe representing the Ark of the Covenant is surrounded by Silver adornments and two hearty red wines.
