Wow, Elisa, imagine my

Wow, Elisa, imagine my surprise when I open the Jewcy page and see, literally, two of my favorite "characters" side by side. I have to say that Buber and Elle Woods make the least likeliest of pairs, but super cool idea here -- lots of fun. And I suppose it's neverĀ a bad idea to bring some of the greatest thinkers/philosophers into dialogue with some of these pop-culture-ish icons (if we can call Elle a pop culture icon!). I guess the only "problem" is that even talking about the whole I-Thou thing reduces it to an I-It . . . one of those crazy Buber moments, kind of like his "thou must, which take no account of the 'thou can.'" This Buberian concept is also an Elle Woods attribute, wouldn't you say? Buber is rad . . . and so is Elle Woods.
