First Things First

Has always been my policy. And second things second. But sometimes, when I'm feeling especially fey, I do third things fourth, and the fourth things third!

Don't tell.

    Huh?!

    I am almost afraid to ask, but what prompted this?

    By the way, do you know what the header is referencing?

    I would imagine that it has to do with current instability of nations and its threat to "whirled peas". Sure, it is a generality, but things are quite strange these days. More war seems to be afoot.

    If you were thinking of something more specific, then I must say that I am at a loss.

    Well, there is the whole Ron Artest thing, as well. Haha!

    I have a feeling that you wouldn't change your header just for "Metta World Peace". It's got to be deeper than that.

    Well, it was mostly just my chuckling about Artest, but if there is anything deeper, it's that perhaps this blog can best be called "the blog with the ever changing name."

At one large organization where a friend works, two black cafeteria cooks were asked to prepare a special meal in honor of African-American history month. No doubt, they thought back to their own childhood and prepared on meal of ribs, collard greens, and cornbread. A much higher status member of the organization came to the cafeteria and was sorely offended by their "stereotyping." She got them fired. So this highly privileged woman got two much less privileged, minority workers, who were probably supporting families on their low wages, thrown out of work because they had offended her progressive ideology by implying that African-American people ever ate African-American cuisine. Hey, fair's fair!

More college diversity and tolerance

By -
From Amherst College, as noted by the left-leaning journal Commonweal:

‘Despite the sentiment expressed in its introduction, such a document will not serve to encourage discussion, but to stifle it; the goal is not intellectual diversity, but conformity. A professor friend of mine at another college notes ruefully that colleagues who oppose the ideas and language put forth in the Amherst document don’t dare say so publicly. “They’d be ostracized and shamed,” he told me. “You just can’t disagree with this kind of thing.”’
