off with their heads - 8.13.25
Something has happened to all of our brains – Lewis Carroll should be writing an antithetical script about us. I mean all the people of the world. When I heard that the films Hamas and Nukba took of their carnage cannot be seen in Toronto because they are the property of Hamas, I realized that it’s not just us that are upside down.
We too are so upside down we can’t even tell any more what is right – but we can still see what is going on. But we would have to be upside-down and blind to not see that the blatant disregard of the basic values that first created this country has ruined our sense of reality.
We discussed today the possibility of an extended strike – not just this Sunday – but all week. Of course it’s harmful to the entire population and probably won’t matter at all to the government, but we’re out of ammunition.
So well articulated, Karen! I agree with your assessment about the loss of (maybe?) critical thinking.? I have been increasingly involved in the work of LawNY for the past 2 yrs. and have recently been offered the opportunity to take courses through LinkedIN for better management of this non-profit organization. What stood out to me, in the long list of offerings, were the short courses on critical thinking: “Practical tools….”; “Using questions to Foster Critical Thinking”; “Critical Thinking for Better Judgment and Decision-Making”; Developing a Critical Mindset”…and others.
But it seems in matters of war (of this magnitude!) all bets are off…and people are frantic. That is, of course, what the enemy wants…so we must be vigilant in any and every way we can.
