Good morning! It is 2 March 2023.
Right now I’ve got the news on, and the topic is the poisoning of schoolgirls in Iran. These girls are being attacked for the dire sin of seeking an education in a backward country that doesn’t see the value of women beyond their ability to reproduce.
People sometimes wonder why I view certain religious institutions negatively – here you go. Religion does a great job of putting men at the center of the universe. Religion even strips women of their most sacred power – here’s an example. In the Book of Genesis, God creates Adam in his own image – personally, I think man created God in his own image – but the creation of woman – the “birth” of woman, if you will – was from Adam’s rib. Despite the observed truth that women are responsible for bringing new life into the world, the jokers that wrote Genesis decided somewhere along the way that women didn’t deserve that credit, and that woman was created from man with no uterus involved.
People wonder why I question religious tenets – well, there you go.
Today I wrap up my four-day class with my training partner. I’m in Kansas, she’s in New York City, and the class has been running on eastern time, so I’ll start a little early, but be wrapped up by 4 PM my time. Three days to decompress, then right back at it again next week with the same material, but a central time shift.
I’ll have a prep week the week of March 13 with no classroom responsibilities. A good time to focus on some peripheral projects.
Now reading that some clown named Muffley tried to sneak a bomb onto a plane. I’m kind of laughing at the name… if I recall correctly, the name of the US President in Stanley Kubrick’s “Dr. Strangelove” was named Merkin Muffley. Ironic, I suppose.
I hope the world is treating you better than you deserve.
Peace y’all.
