a timely observation

[hammercock]

A portion of the Vidui ("confession") prayer on Yom Kippur says (at least, the translation in the machzor I used tonight did):

"We are violent, we are wicked, we are xenophobic.
We yield to evil, we are zealots for bad causes."

Right now I think a whole lot of people in this nation ought to be thinking long and hard about atoning for that.
