Pedestrian philosophy
The Australian Jewish News weekly asks a question of people its reporters meet on the street, in a “Vox Pop”. This week the reporter was apparently feeling particularly existential, as the following issue was picked for the community to respond to (Sydney Edition, Friday March 6 2009):
Question?
Some of the more inspiring responses printed include:
Yes I think there appears to be, you hear about situatons happening that make you wonder what is really going on.
Ricki, 48
I have heard that there is, but don’t know about one personally.
Henry, 75
I don’t think so, well I hope not.
Sarah, 26
And then there are more obscure responses, such as:
Yes, because they don’t have a Jewish place to go.
Eitan, 72
How would you respond to this insightful survey?
PS: Yes, their use of commas is perhaps also less-than-desirable.
