Although it also comes from the surprisingly insightful commentary from Meg Ryan on the DVD extras for the film "Proof of Life". Oh yeah and also Hegel and Marx like RBL said. thm: re #10 see “Obligation: A Jewish Jurisprudence of the Social Order” by Bob Cover in “Narrative, Violence, and the Law”: http://books.google.com/books?id=D0gA_c3k7DYC&printsec=frontcover&dq=robert+cover#PPA1,M1

Your wife, as in everything on which I've yet had the pleasure of hearing her render judgement, is right. Re: #10: I knew it from theory in graduate school. After Proposition 8, I'm convinced from experience. As for good writing on this, I think one could start with Hegel and/or Marx and move on from there. Re: #8.

The Wikipedia article is more equivocal, but does mention foie gras as a sort of by-product of schmaltz production in central and western Europe back when, say, olive oil was hard to come by. #10 and #16 could be the subjects of essays themselves--or is there already good writing on these out there?
