The punctuation of the gag reflex
Another day gone by. Already? Twenty-four hours doesn’t have the same staying power it once did.
On the way home, I happened to catch a conversation that lofted out from a small group of small children. Hard to avoid, actually. One youngster telling the others that “she” (I think it was a little sister) had said that “two and two equals three”. The tone; derisive. As in “how stupid is that?”. And from such basic elements, we build our society. Not only must the truth be taught, but the truth must be supported. Certain political parties would be pleased to know that conformism is alive and well.
