Re: (rotten) Food for Thought

Helen, I didn’t know your “science” dept. denies anthropogenic global warming.  Really?  No, really, really?  Does the principal know?  The School Board?  Ach!

In one of my classes today, a student told about a recent student-teaching experience she had, with a girl in her second grade class.  The girl told her that we don’t have to worry about global warming because God wiped out almost everyone once before–the flood that only those on Noah’s ark survived–and then promised he wouldn’t do it again.  I don’t even know if that “promise” is biblically accurate, but she learned it somewhere. . . .Double Ach!  (There’s a old song, I think it’s a “Negro Spiritual,” with a powerful lyric: “God gave Noah the rainbow sign / No more water, the fire next time.”  [James Baldwin has a book called The Fire Next Time]).

Yeah, if Monday is good, we could get an earlyish start and be out by 10–Mirsa’s place sounds awfully tempting. . .
