"Vitriol"

I was going through the blogs that I read just now, and Treppenwitz [also linked in my sidebar] (that's his last name, right Ed?) talked about the power of words. I think it's most appropriate now, because 9 b'Av was this past Sunday, and how did 9 b'Av become our day of sadness to begin with? Because the meraglim (spies) used words to convince B'nei Yisrae that Eretz Yisrael was bad, that we shouldn't go there, and we wouldn't win any conquest into the Land. What better day than to fix ones language than on 9 b'Av?

Thanks Mr B.

I urge you all to read it.
