Going All The Way

Happy New Year, everyone! Maybe there will be people who will stop using their feelings as thoughts, and stop using their opinions as observations. Peace and Love, everyone! That's where it's at!

And One Ring To Bind Them

Just when I think I've heard it all, a kid from Texas gets suspended from school because he told another kid he had a magic ring and would use it make the other kid invisible! Where the hell is the eye-rolley where I need it?! A fourth grader named Aiden Steward, who recently watched one of the movies based on J.R.R. Tolkien's Lord Of The Rings trilogy, took a ring to school and told another fourth grader that it was forged in Middle Earth, and had the power to make people invisible. Later, that same day, young Aiden's parents got a call from the school to tell him that Aiden had been suspended for making "threats of terrorism".

In an ongoing climate of "zero tolerance", this little boy was persecuted for wearing a piece of jewelry and for using his imagination. It's definitely harassment of an intelligent and precocious child, but another idea that occurred to me is that the teacher of this fourth grade class may not be as well read as her students, and not understand literary references when she hears them. Also, being a midwestern teacher in a midwestern school, the teacher might think she is justified to punish children whose parents are Pagan or Wiccan. If a christian whose IQ is in the typical range of IQ's for Christians (around 96) thinks she can get away with humiliating and harassing a child who discusses Pagan ideas by having him suspended for "terrorism", you can bet your bottom dollar the midwestern teacher will do it. This teacher and her administration may be trying to drive Aiden's parents out of the school district. The trend among christian churches these days is to be as intolerant, threatening, and as unmessianic as possible, in hopes of gaining brownie points with God. Also, how come all these "zero tolerance" schools still have bullies?

Above is Aiden, our little would-be Frodo, holding his newborn brother. When I think of terrorists, this is not what comes to mind. Indeed, Aiden's father commented, "I  assure you, my son lacks the magical powers necessary to threaten his friend's existence."

While modern public schools make empty claims about their "zero tolerance" policies, yours truly does not suffer fools gladly. If any of the readers, fans, or trolls of this blog share this sentiment, following is the contact information in order to call and politely ask the ringwraiths who run the school to kindly insist upon teachers who know the difference between reality and fantasy.

In Case You Slept Through Church This Sunday

A study that was published in Cognitive Science in July of last year suggests that children brought up in Christian homes, mired with silly Christian dogma, have trouble discerning between fantasy and reality when reading books or watching movies! Children brought up in more secular surroundings have a much easier time determining what is real and what is not. Should this be a surprise to anyone? If you have made it a habit to sleep through church and never listen, your chances of waking up from the dream you had, realizing it was only a dream, are much greater!

Baby Lisa Irwin's New Missing Poster

 

 

This is a brand new missing poster of little Lisa Irwin, who, at age ten months, disappeared on October 3, 2011 in Kansas City, Missouri. Somehow, this effort and the choice of images seems a bit halfhearted, at best. Don't most parents of missing children try to include age progressed pictures, instead of pictures that would no longer resemble the child, should the child be living?

 

Message To Loring Henderson Defender

Someone accused me, because of my last post, of twisting Loring Henderson's words, just a little bit. Perhaps I did. In my own defense, allow me to say this; while I read between the lines a bit and spelled out what he said in a whole new light, Loring Henderson's words to Fox news represents what IS NOT going on in Kansas shelters, and my spin on Loring Henderson's words represents what IS going on in Kansas shelters. Cry about it all you want, but you should be crying about the reality behind the whole situation.
