Tuesday, December 13, 2005: The elipsis and the brackets. Two tools that let you make a quote say whatever you want

Hmmm... Where was I? Ah, yes: the list. Well, first item on the addendum is... Mr. Fundie's fundie paranoia! How exciting. Well you see, Mr. Fundie is, as has been made obvious, a fundie. And with such fundamentalism comes paranoia. You know, the Atheist are out to destroy religion, the gays want to destroy families, et cetera. However, Mr. Fundie hasn't verbally stated any of these particular complaints. He seems to express it by being concerned with strawman arguments against the school. Now true, I do that as well, but even with me being so cynical, pessimistic, and exaggerative as I am, his strawmen make me quite nervous. Here are some: CPR is a required course, which he admits to, yet he believes that it will stop being taught when he retires at the end of this year (which, in my opinion, is a little too late, considering that he's either 75 or 78 [I remember that it was most definitely one of those two]); he is also constantly saying about how everybody has case managers and councilors which will get them through any class other than his (for some reason), taking the test for them (he actually said that) and what not; along with that, he thinks that all of the other teachers not only let students walk all over them, but that the students do just that. I think he lives in some sort of parallel universe, perhaps due to senility. And, over the course of typing this, I just realised how arrogant he is. I think that the teaching community will be greatly improved through the overdue retirement of this one teacher.

At any rate, next topic: Street Scene. It was the play that God was in. It was great! God was the humorous Italian ice cream salesman. It was awesome! And, other people I kow were in it. Like Mackenzie, and Smarl, and... You know, that might have been it. But, at any rate, God is most certainly going to be the star of Necropolis (as we have entitled our movie. Well, I don't think I have enough time to touch on the rest of my notes. At this rate, I just might finish that posted list before I'm finished with life! Well, here's hoping!
