Thanks very much for posting that, Hanna! I would consider this to be one of Jesus's most important parables -- and also, incidentally, a parable that seems to be original to him (whereas some of the...

ЗЫ: The Russian wikipedia article about lobotomies and their ban in the USSR is interesting reading. What caught my eye is that the procedure was officially banned in early December 1950, yet as late...

Прошу прощение за длинный "оффтопик" -- а я хочу ответить на одно утверждение, предложенное Annix:

As we say in English, it "takes two to tango."

Fixed that for you!



"Individualism" is a complex topic and I would agree that it's not inherently "abhorrent and dangerous" to challenge it or to argue that "individualism" must be balanced by...

Наоборот, the telepathically-controlled computer was fooled!
