The Border Fence

Thought for the Day

Aug. 30, 2009 – sent to all my fellow teachers:


This was the Thought for Today on the Word.a.day emailed to me.

Thought it apropos for teachers and emailed to my peers.


A THOUGHT FOR TODAY:

What you cannot enforce, do not command.

-Sophocles, dramatist (495?-406 BCE)


***********************************************

I got a few responses, such as “Amen”, or “I really like this,

thank you.”


Following is an email conversation between myself and

someone who I would say is our most political thinker,

“Tom”.


****************************************************

T - Eerily suggestive of our border policy.


******************************************************


V - Interesting connection. With the border policy I have to say that

my attention is focused on the environmental

damage the fence has done, destroying habitat and animal corridors.


******************************************************


T - What kind of animals? Not the human kind?


*************************************************

V - No, not human corridors. I'm not worried about the demise of

human beings. In fact, I'm worried about the proliferation of

homo sapiens.
