I beg to differ with you, Susan.
Ann Landers hit the nail on the head.
You can't live with the rules of the
past while whipping into the future.
Things change, and it is our duties
as human beings (not Jews, Christians, ...)
to keep up with the changing times.
Kashrut is ancient.  Sure, it may
be a nice idea for someone to do,
but you can't live your life without
thinking of what is going on in life
around you.  The mother's concern
about an emergency call is a very
valid one.  The fact that the son
has basically cut himself off from
his parents, not to mention the
world, is sad.  He has some duty
to his family members, and I feel
he is being selfish.  Oh well, to each
his own.  I just hope my kids never
do that to me.  I would be very hurt.
