Welcome to European Tribune. It's gone a bit quiet around here these days, but it's still going.

A friendly suggestion - before debate on this particular tangent goes any further, I suggest this, this and this as precursory reading material. At minimum.

The world could spin an extra round on the energy that already has been channeled into diaries and commentaries at ET on dress codes in France vs Someplace Else. Be careful to tread.

Actually, that is what keeps the world  going. And you thought arguments on ET were pointless.

it is interesting how many comments these threads get.

spirituality is existential, as much so as better energy policies, georgian economics et al. these diaries attempt to approach the ineffable, even in a roundabout way, and notwithstanding the probable preference of some here that they would just shut up and go away and leave us to our de-stag-in-flation interest rates hairsplitting and rational materialism.

i think it makes a nice balance to the drier subjects continually (and copiously) on hand here.

not a fan of flying fur, but if that's the price we pay for heading closer to the characterial core of what makes us human, that's ok (in appropriate doses)...
