My Review of Regis Auffray’s
“The Bean Salad Choice”
© - Tom Hyland - 11/3/10
REG - WELL DONE! VERY PROFOUND!
Herein you mentioned EDUCATION ... and TIME ... and HISTORY ...
Just Sunday evening, my Lady friend, Pat, and I were watching an old movie on cable. "The Body' starring Antonio Banderas - a female Archaeologist had discovered some BONES that other Scientists had DATED as 32-33 BCE ... she didn't know what that meant - I explained ...
Historically, for many many years now, we 'Earthians' have SET our Calendar Timeline on the Basis of 'One Solitary Life' - that of JESUS CHRIST (Super-Star) ...
From His Death, documented by Roman History, 'in the Time of Pontius Pilate' - we arbitrarily 'backed-up' 33 years, and said: "VOILA!" - THAT IS ZERO ... anything BEFORE is called BC - 'Before Christ' and anything AFTER is called AD - 'Ano Domine' - Latin for 'Year of our Lord!' The entire 'Civilized' Western World has used this Dating System and basic Calendar for Hundreds of Years!
However, some time in the more recent Past, someone (who? - who cares?) - got the 'Bright Idea' to CHANGE the lettering system - THUS, the 'Scientific' world began using anything BEFORE ZERO to now be BCE - 'Before Christian Era' and everything AFTER is now CE - 'Christian Era.' Simple enough, but different!
Granted that a few other 'Earthian' Cultures, like the Chinese, and the Hebrews, and perhaps a few others, still maintain their own ANCIENT Calendars - perhaps Technically?
But, I'll 'Bet a Dollar to a Donut' that when it comes to PRACTICAL purposes, like: World Trade, Economics, Science, et cetera ... they use our Same 'Western' Calendar!
So, now that 'Halloween' is O'er ... and 'All Hallows' or 'All Saints Day' has passed, along with yesterday, November 2nd, 'Election Day' as well as 'All Souls Day' (to Catholics) ...
The 'EDUCATIONAL' media has already announced the Beginning of the 'OFFICIAL' SHOPPING SEASON!
Thanksgiving Day and CHRISTMAS DAY (that arbitrary date assigned to CHRIST'S Birth) are rapidly approaching - TIME to 'Change Gears' and get into the 'Programmed' SHEEPLE Mode!
Yes, REG - EDUCATION Is a Wonderful Thing!
OH - almost forgot - FOOD Programming - I DO LOVE MY PIZZA ... but NOT for BREAKFAST! My kids used to pull it out of the Fridge, and gobble it up COLD!
I SHUDDER to even THINK of such an Act!
P.S. That’s my uncontrollable ‘THOUGHT’ process - and I’m Stickin’ to it!
PEACE ... Tom.
