Let me say this about that. Human beings are a funny lot. We seem to think we understand the world we live in quite clearly. However, as I have aged, I am beginning to see that I don’t ‘really’ understand a helluva lot. Allow me to illustrate. How do you make a question mark in Chinese? […]
Let me say this about that. Like most Americans I have been watching the “Great Monkey Grab-Ass Show” performed by our nation’s leaders in Washington, as they negotiate a settlement to the current debt/budget crisis. To give you guys a summary of what has been happening (just in case you actually have a life and […]
Let me say this about that. When I was a student, I hated tests, quizzes, exams, reviews, oral presentations, mid-terms, finals, thesis, dissertations, and any other sort of prodding and probing of my cognitive capability. I understand the need for instructors to assess the level of knowledge their students have retained from their classes, but there […]
Let me say this about that. As a young, recently graduated engineer, I accepted a job in Cape Canaveral, Florida working at an electronics company. This particular company designed and manufactured sophisticated communications equipment for NASA’s Apollo space program, and for the use of the National Security Administration’s (NSA) efforts in the Vietnam war. My first week […]
Let me say this about that. Do you remember when you were in school, or in some class at work, and the instructor asked if anyone in the class had a question? Usually no one asked a question for fear of looking stupid in front of the rest of the class. Of course, we always […]
Let me say this about that. I got sick of watching network news the other day, waiting for the college basketball scores and decided to try to find them on the internet. It didn’t take long – and network news was still on so I busied myself with a little web surfing. I ran across a couple of […]
Let me say this about that. As a young man, I was always interested in hearing the advice of my elders. I figured that if they lived to be that old, they must know a few things, otherwise they would not have lived long enough to be…….well, old. I did not always heed this advice, […]
Let me say this about that. I believe it is a noble pursuit to promote improvement and progress in all phases of our time here on the ’3rd rock from the Sun’. LMSTAT attempts to do it’s share ……. sometimes, by pouring some much needed sunshine on the crap our government, religious, and business institutions […]
Let me say this about that. I’m just going to come right out and say this. I believe that whoever wrote the Book of Genesis in the Old Testament got it wrong. Maybe not the entire “Creation” thing, but the “First Sin” thing is completely askew. I believe that Adam and the Serpent were just sitting around in the […]
Let me say this about that. In 1973, Paul Simon recorded the song “Kodachrome” that contained the lyric, ‘When I think back on all the crap I learned in high school, it’s a wonder I can think at all.’ Amen, Brother Simon. The older I get, the truer this becomes. And it’s not just the […]
