Very Brief Essays: January 8,2009


First off, I question whether competition is something to be desired. That it may [at times] exist, can [sometimes] be accepted. But that it should be valued, encouraged, or manipulated to advantage I will argue against. Those who point to the racing child as example of humanity's hard-wire to a competitive nature should consider the younger child still . . . ebullient with the ecstasy of flight and capture. But in either case, that doesn't obviate the out---growing and maturing beyond the toyings of children . When your Alzheimers kicks in you will have plenty of time to practice your immature notion of "Forever Young".

Ever notice how those who most avidly recommend the value of competitiveness are also most likely to recommend the value of COPS ? (Contempory talk radio fans?) And of course . . . competitive cops are even better; maybe even required. It shouldn't take a prophet to predict the fate of the innocent when cops and competition are combined.

ABRAHAM: "THE GREAT SATAN"
So there they are ------ THE THREE ABRAHAMIC RELIGIONS making endless War against each other and threatening the rest of the World in the process. Yet the "responsible" members of these religions you will always assure that the members of their own sect are free of violent fanaticism and in (their) truth ALL of the "responsible" children of Abraham are peace loving. Yet there they are . . . STILL making War ! "We Preach Peace but we find ourselves at War" they say. Take them to a stadium and say: "Aggression is what is preached here. Could this be a source of Crime and War?"
