National Brotherhood Week - Tom Lehrer

[Maria]

What did you think of Tom Lehrer's performance? I thought it was hilarious.

It was very funny, and I suppose it has a good message hidden behind the irony, i.e. it's hard to tolerate other people, but at least we should try. At the same time, it does a good job satirizing the more vapid notions of "universal brotherhood" that try to ignore real and important differences among people of different cultures and religions.

I think the National Brotherhood Week used to be held around this time of year. Is that what made you post the link?

Also, I'm glad you're feeling better now.
