I don't think "grateful" is the right word, you're being much too euphemistic.
I sense that the whole history of German philosophy and all of Jewish history
have finally been brought to their orgastic point.  These histories have been
teleological spirals tensing themselves towards that ecstatic moment when we,
the Chosen People, through Ralph Dumain, would lift our Chosen Foot and stomp
on German Philosophy.  The seed of the combined Judeo-German ejaculation
produced at this divine climax will undoubtedly give rise to a new rationality,
a new world of pure luminosity, a new human race, and perhaps -- who knows? --
a new X-rated Spielberg movie with Ralph Dumain and Theodore Adorno action
figures. All in our own lifetime.  Baruch Adonai.
