Moral Minority
We are living in confusing and deceptive times. We are guided by the rules of etiquette from the old world, which are becoming increasingly irrelevant, while the rules from the new world have not yet been clearly defined. Times like these are dark days for humanity, but are the golden age of advice columns. 'Moral Minority' will be happy to provide you with the answers.
If you don't know how to behave in a certain situation, if you need friendly advice but you've already driven all your sane friends away or if you've got the kind of embarrassing question that can only be asked anonymously, send a mail to: mechlak.musar@gmail.com.
Our answers will be generous and honest – but should not be seen as replacement for professional consultations. Obviously.
