Want a history lesson? Fine!

How many middle and upper level high school students, and some college students have not been taught, or being taught, about the anti-war protests(1960's) of America's involvement in Vietnam(30 year war), or the "Kent State University(Ohio-1970) protests(deadly), or the 1965 riots in the Watts District of Los Angeles...........

I didn't think so.

We haven't learned a "**** THING"from those eras!

The One Word that should be Stricken
                      (My Opinion)

I work for a company that has a contract with a major corporation with more than 1200 employees, which consists of  a diversified, ethnic population, none of whom I would ever consider to be a "minority."

"Minority", is a devisive word. It catagorizes, classifies, demeans, degrades,  and at its worse, creates and enhances prejudices.  If "All men(and women) are created equal", then the word "minority" should ride off into the sunset.

I'm sure that the majority of writers like to create and compose in relative solitude, perhaps with soft music, or birds tweeting(unless its a crow) in the background. I have a cat clinging to my socks!

Regardless of the portrayals by The "old masters" in their oil paintings, or Hollywood depictions; I don't think that when Adam and Eve were created, they resembled "Mr. Universe" or any of the"Victoria's Secret" models. A rather hirsute individual, carrying a club fashioned from a tree limb, toenails in need of clipping, knuckles dragging the ground. I'd hate to see what Adam looked like.

Genesis 26:
Then God said, "Let us make man in our image, after our likeness; and let them have "dominion" over the fish of the sea, and over the birds of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing, that creeps upon the earth."

Question: Does this apply to cats?
(cats let us think we do(have dominion), but we don't, really!)
