Even though we don't agree with each other, we respect each other. Fraulein is much smarter than me and well versed in law and justice. I must say though my passion is justice for all, and I am fervently against injustice. However, I feel conflicted in situations where the balance seems wrong. Are civil liberties more important than the nation's safety? If it was a choice between protecting an individual's rights and saving the nation, what would you do? Are we members of the Jack Bauer school, or perhaps the "kill them all let God sort them out" mentality, or the "even if it harms us as a whole we'll protect each individual's civil liberty?"
I am ashamed to say that sometimes I drift between the three. Which is the proper course. What would my Rabbi do? I'm supposed to be like him, and imitate him. I've been following him for 23 years now. Have I learned anything?
