Why are you fasting today?

Yes, yes thank you I know its 17 Tamuz and I know things happened in the distant past, things that so distrubed the Rabbis that they established a day of mourning, and announced it binding on every Jew in all times and all places.

My question is This: Why have you chosen to play along?

(I'm fasting. Always do.)
