Вчера, пока искал в сети иллюстрации Эля Лисицкого к детским книжкам на идиш, наткнулся на сетевой постмодернистский журнал под названием (однако, да) "Дорогой Хабермас".

Чтиво в высшей степени психоделическое --
So what does Grace have to do with saving unicorns? Well, the Grace I'm talking about is the Grace freely given by God, but not to everyone. It's the grace you can't earn. Nothing you do can affect grace, for it is God's gift to you. Now, I have lots more trouble with that than with unicorns. But many religious people do believe that grace and hence, immortality, is given directly by God and we can't affect that decision or gift. And that leads to believing that this life is only preliminary to eternity with God, and so unimportant. And that leads to an unwillingness to redistribute the world's wealth, since what God has given is God's to give, and not for us to challenge or change. Though God does expect his creatures of grace to give chaarity willingly and out of love. But taxation and redistribution of wealth are definitely out according to this view, as I understand it.
Спасайте единорогов, товарищи! Это чрезвычайно важно.
