Sounds like you also may be more a giver than a taker. Try this book--

So explain something to me...I'm not trying to be funny...so when does a rape accusation come by way of a civil law suit and not an actual arrest and criminal prosecution? So you can just do that? I understand you can sue anyone for just about anything in civil court but I'm a bit confused here. So...

Rise and Kill First, by Ronen Bergman. This is a history of Israel's targeted assassination programs since the 1930s. It's as if Bergman stole the files of the Mossad, the Shin Bet, and the military intelligence units, and then got all the commanders to speak up to defend their role in history again...

Great book. I've read about and tried meditation many times over the last 40 years. This is the first time I've gotten it. He takes you carefully step by step in clear prose with insightful analogies to where you actually start meditating and then get better at it with the notion that it is a consta...

FBI, local LE, and security experts have a lot of good advice, and we're actively engaged with them, but a lot comes down to budget, finding the right balance, and reality check, made harder by the presence of elderly and regular classes for special needs kids and our being a small community (a few ...

My first thought is leave it to the pro's. Would you have to hire "full-time" security? Or could you just have them to coincide with the regular services and other functions? Also, what is Ohio law regarding self defense? By which I mean, in some places even where carrying is allowed, the...

Following the Pittsburgh shooting, I dug into security issues for the synagogue I teach Sunday School at and the other one I attend. Then, last week, the FBI arrested a guy who planned to shoot up the synagogue I teach at. Part of this is that the chance of a shooting is remote - statistically the h...

The problem with answers is that there are often two of them and they're opposite -- "opportunity knocks only once," so jump on it; "look before you leap," take a breath an be careful before jumping. "Penny wise-pound foolish" v. "a penny saved is a penny earned.&q...

As near as i can piece it together, sounds like what happened in Gaza last week is that Israel sent in 4 counter-intel guys, 2 dressed as women, in a car. Sounds like they were trying to install a listening device outside of a commander of Hamas military wing, who came out to ask them what they were...

Fauda is all about the undercover operations Israel runs regularly in the West Bank to gather intelligence, or to capture or kill terrorists. What just happened in Gaza is one of these intelligence operations was uncovered and mayhem ensued as Hamas tried to capture (the big prize) or kill the under...

On Netflix. Israeli production in Hebrew and Arabic, can get it dubbed or in English or subtitles. Israeli counterterrorist unit operating in West Bank. Training, killings galore, bombs, revenge, sex (shown modestly), betrayals (love, among battling groups), anti-hero tough guys, interrogation tacti...

That's not something I can talk about until the Mueller investigation finishes.

Gun control has a lot to do with culture and in America with the second amendment. By way of contrast, Israel has very severe gun control laws. You have to be in the right occupation, have the right military rank, or live in certain areas. Permit holders are limited to owning one pistol. Those who h...

I've read a few "important" books but, the most surprisingly important book to me has been Dickens', "A Christmas Carol". There's way more to this little book than a ghost story. Just about everything that's truly important is in there. Dickens is my favorite author. Pickwick Pa...

What's the best thing to do if you're in that situation - you hear gun shots, they're scattered, people falling everywhere, you have no idea where shots are coming from, you're wide open. What do you do to maximize odds of living - run, crawl, curl up in a ball and stay put?

Over the years, there have been IGXers fond of stoicism. Philosphy as a way of life by Pierre Hadot is about how to do stoicism and epicureanism. His notion is that Greek philosophy was not about a set of doctrines - stoicism, Platonist forms, etc. - but it was about how to live life well. Thus Marc...

There's a reason he's paid to write down his thoughts. When's the last time someone paid you for yours? . This morning....literally 20 seconds ago...and for the balance of the day...and tomorrow...and sadly for the foreseeable future. Poetic blathering is wonderful....for the blatherer...for most o...

The hardest thing for humans to do, it seems, is to settle for not-knowing. Just accepting lack of knowledge. Living with the unanswered question. As seaahill mentions, storytelling is in the blood. We inevitably take a bucket of facts and no matter how discordant thy are, we find a story that make...
