Modern Modesty: Schools

Modern Modesty: Schools
Hello, again. I'm Hi Galloper, and this is Modern Modesty. Does the bible say anything about school? It talks about education, but nothing about classrooms. If schools are so important, why aren't they listed in the ten commandments? Because schools are evil. God just expected us to know it without having to be commanded. There can't be any good reason for all the children to have to spend their entire lives together in a room with their peers being strictly supervised by a government employee. Children are impressionable. What is our 'secular' government doing to them?

I have a theory about this. While I am mostly concerned with issues of modesty here, and with the destructive nature of peer groups to encourage brashness, I think schools are up to a lot worse than merely making children obsessed with peer acceptance. Look at the stars they hold up as role models. Half of them got to the top by cutting some poor bastard's throat. What do you get when you encourage this kind of behaviour? Junior mercenaries, all ready for a spot on the front lines of the next armed conflict.

Religion would teach them that money and fame would only ultimately disappoint them, but schools are secular. They don't care about your child's soul. He's just a number to them. If he's a high number, they'll try to make money off him. If he's not so high number, they'll send him to an institution to keep the police and guards gainfully employed. Want to know a growing field? Prison guards and psychiatric guards. Way to go, schools.

I'm not done talking about this. For Modern Modesty, I'm Hi Galloper.

The Netherwork: Fitness Craze

The Netherwork: Fitness Craze I don't know how long it will take to write a new one with this theme. There are so many angles I've already been forced to explore. (A middle aged woman sits behind a desk in a plush office adjoined to a photo studio by a marked door. The door opens and out steps a stunning model in a bikini and pumps, with a small dragon lightly tattooed across her ankle. The model goes over to a coatrack where her trench coat hangs. She dons the coat and approaches the desk.) Model: Hey! Aren't you Gracie Mace, the fitness guru? Yes, you are! I swear, my dad and I loved your show! Mace: (Smiling) Thank you. Please sign here for your cheque. (She holds out a document. The model leans forward and signs where indicated. The other then pulls off a paycheque along a perforated line and hands it over.) Now remember that you've relinquished all rights to these photos. Their mine now. Model: That's all right. I don't need them...

The Netherwork: Pure Mishap

The Netherwork: Pure Mishap Since I heard the name 'Stuie' as a possible putdown from a passerby today, I'm going to repeat that Seth MacFarlane got punched out in prison. Now let's go after his supporters. I don't know if he took this one. (A network boardroom. A meeting has just concluded when one of the executives is delayed by the chairman.) Chairman: I hear you have an exotic new post production coordinator. Executive: Yes, from Haiti. Chairman: We'll be having a little informal gathering in the rotunda later. Could you ask her join us? Executive: Certainly. Can I come? Chairman: No. (The rotunda. From a torchlit alter, standing before a boiling cauldron, a colourfully costumed priestess addresses a congregation of robed and hooded executives and staff.) Priestess: With the power of the buh-joo , all can be yours. The spirit fathers know of the one who resists you. (With her arms outstretched to the ceiling, she says a f...
