He has forgotten, or never learned, that identity is based upon delineation and not the blurring of distinctions. His sugestion, sociologically speaking, is a recipe for suicide. <br /><br />Yes, one must be considerate of individuals. Sometimes, and here I'm terribly NON-Post-Modern, the individual's sensitivities must be sacrificed for the integrity of the whole.Jeffrey R.

I mean, that's silly. <br /><br />Brafman can say what he said, because unlike you, he doesn't think Judaism is a snooty university, with a reputation to enhance and protect. <br /><br />Think about this a little more deeply, with a little less sarcasm, and Brafman POV will become clear to you. <br /><br />You've let us know, after all, that you have enough brainpower to figure this out.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
