Do you mean that any solution is better then no solution? That seems destructive. Obviously, when we dare do something, we need to have some realistic hope for a positive outcome. If we know a negative outcome with come about – as has come from many initiatives take from the point of view of ‘just do something’ – aren’t we using the ammo left to make things worse? Sev V’Al Taaseh Adif.
But I don’t propose doing nothing. I propose the problems isn’t “those evil prutzahs”. I propose we as a society – men and women – need to do some soul searching, and reevaluate our priorities.
What do we really worship? And ultimately, we’ve got to first ourselves – and then others – what real priorities are in life, and the real Torah place of money, power and beauty. If we fix the underlying problem, the symptom will fade away, without any need for bleach. Or tires. Or signs. Or terribly large seforim which have little to do with Halacha, but running on the terrible need to make more and more rules to compensate for the lost feeling of tzinius. Maybe we should – instead – try to get tzinius back? But tzinius means not just tzinius in dress – but tzinius in our lives and goals, in all aspect, men and women.
Has the sledgehammer mehalach ever worked in our generation? EVER? Or has it just made people defensive? Has anyone really done anything because you threaten them?
This is not Europe. There is no organized Kehilla. We need to accept these realities, and look inward.
As far the origins of Moq, I plead the fifth, though I wish I could claim programming proficiency, it’s a skill I lack. I know nothing of .NET and the like.
