Fireworks Fun in Philly
By Prof. Ernest ThornberryJuly 5th, 2007
Bunglehorn,
Did you hear about the Philadelphia fireworks fiasco last night? Due to rainy weather, city officials canceled their Independence Day fireworks show after people waited for hours to see it. Then, as the crowds departed, so did the clouds. The officials launched the show, but most spectators had left. The news accounts how everyone is upset.
CBS reports, “A call to the mayor’s office to obtain comment has not been returned.” Perhaps Mayor John F. Street is too busy playing with his new iPhone? He waited in line for hours, until some kid in a mohawk asked him “How can you sit here with 200 murders in the city already?” Another example of how easily perception shifts with a simple little question.
May I suggest, show these stories to your patient and elucidate for him this irony: an event meant to spark patriotic pride causes resentment of public leaders. In the deeply historic City of Brotherly Love, no less!
The conductors of the fireworks show can only operate with the information they have at the time. The weather cleared within minutes of cancellation, safety returned, so they pulled the trigger. Probably saved the city a few million dollars in future expenses. But deluged with these kind of stories, your patient ought to arrive at our conclusion: your leaders are idiots.
In a sense, they are dolts with respect to public relations. Mayor Street ought to be out front first thing this morning apologizing and making the city’s case for safety, savings and litigation avoidance. Doubtful they will and doubtful the national media would cover it anyway.
You and I benefit from a man’s general distrust in his elected leaders because it erodes his confidence in any authority. With luck, he’ll come to doubt the existence of an Absolute Authority, ergo his Creator. Even if he doesn’t go that far, he’ll at least turn inward for solace. Makes sense if he can’t depend on the leaders in his life.
Therefore, do your part to hide goodness by authority figures. Focus on the foolishness, mistakes and evil. Turn him against his parents, his teachers, his bosses and his spiritual guides. Convince him he knows better and can do better. You know where lack of humility takes him.
Warmest Regards,
Wigglebrick

Abortion is perfectly acceptable but God forbid that a fireworks display be delayed due to rain! There’s moral relativism for you.

I initially felt the same way about yoga my previous regimes were hiking and running. I gravitated to running outdoors because I loved the spiritual imagery of running through and past any negative energy or frustrations that bothered me… they literally were eating my dust! I initially started with bikram because the intense heat and sweat felt like a powerful workout. Then I met my first ashtanga series and an amped up vinyasa flow and I am completely hooked! Whatever angst I have going on in my life I can work it out on the mat and I leave that studio feeling full of gratitude. Some days my practice is spot on and I feel stronger and bigger than I believed I could be. Other days, I’m a wobbly, tight mess on my mat. But I keep coming back because each day on the mat, as in my life, is different. Thanks for the post!

Are you aware that your web site is coming up with errors in
Chrome? I had to open Internet explorer to finish reading.
No big deal, however, you may want to take a look at that.
I’m positive it’s costing you a couple of readers.
