Interesting article from recent NY Times magazine: "The tragic view comes
closest to describing how I now look at Peter Singer. He is a man of unusual
gifts, reaching for the heights. He writes that he is trying to create a
system of ethics derived from fact and reason, that largely throws off the
perspectives of religion, place, family, tribe, community and maybe even
species -- to ''take the point of view of the universe.'' His is a grand,
heroic undertaking."

when he compared chicken sandwiches and WWII holocaust victims]
