Fwd: Teacher Fails Entire Class! ...
Dave,
Why do you say "fools" in this instance?
I believe the failures of socialism/communism are so stark in contrast to the USA's blessed history, yet even this country is still cursed by devilish ways of humans.
Our first conversation, back in the eighties in Catlanta Rennaisance Hotel lobby, were enlightening to me. I know you are bright. I don't always agree with my 'brighter' friends. You have expressed a lot of criticism about America. I revere those who fought for our freedoms which adherence to our constitution maintains, and I cannot believe that humans, left to their own ways, will devise an unselfish system of "To each according to his abilities and from each according to his needs." You are much aware of history that shows politicians of countries all over this world belie that.
And , you know that I profess to be Christian while knowing my own human failings, but I do believe in a higher good. I, friend, don't force that on you or any of my friends. Acceptance or rejection is a free choice.
You must know that I circulate my emails fairly widely among my friends. but welcome any reply that comes back blank or with a comment to "Remove Sam's messages from my mailing list". I don't aim that specifically at you, but to all who receive my missiles of attempted humor or enlightenment. My own ideas are not so profound as I would hope for. I strive to act satisfactorily in my life to receive God's acceptance. I am not capable of God's Judging ability.
By fools, I meant those who "believe" in socialism.
Life is a discussion.
I enjoy banter.
Frankly, I also do, David, especially with bright and brave people like yourself. I never wonder that the Afghanian officers,
whose people you have taught, and sometimes themselves, appreciate your honesty in teaching. Teaching will always be
among the most important professions in any society. I admire Jesse Stuart's books. He lived in KY not far from my hometown
of Portsmouth, Ohio. He also taught at Portsmouth High School, to a ten years or so older friend of mine. Jesse would bring
in the newspaper and go through stories in his teaching. That would be difficult in America today without teaching "spin".
