The Antisocial Socialist

See, the more I hear about the Middle East right now, the more I just want to ram my head against a wall. I can't really say that I "support" any side because it's all violent. The only side I support is "stop killing"... and I have trouble seeing exactly how I, also a Canadian Jew, can do much to advance that cause.

A few people have asked me if I'm ever going to use my Birthright Israel privilege to get a free trip... and my answer has always been no (and that privilege will expire when I turn 26 in four months). I last visited Israel with my family, roughly around the time Saddam Hussein decided Iraq would invade Kuwait. Perhaps if some time in the distant future, Israel is no longer a 15 on a scale of 1 to clusterfuck, I will consider it.
