Thread: NS senseless banter

I believe this is why our society is down the toilet and we have real problems. Or part of the reason. Although most of you wouldn't even notice any different.. If you think about the symbology in the bible. The mark of the beast is like the mindless following of authority that most of humanity is subject to.

Blind authority is administered through government organizations, unions, teachers organizations, textbooks, school administrators, principles and even the teachers themselves. The beast is a power rather than a simple object we can point out with black and white certainty. This blind authority is a shape shifter moving from place to place. You have to learn to recognize it and then be eternally vigilant to rise above it.

eg

A certain teacher teaches everything required by the rules, but goes the extra mile and also teaches some Phonics which is not the standard authorized method but it seems to work better than anything else available.

He is then called in by administration and told to cool it if he wants to keep his job.

Next this same rebel teacher publishes a letter in the local paper stating how he supports competency testing for teachers. He does not name names but presents several examples of incompetence in the school where he works.

From that point on he is treated very coldly by all authorities over him (and some teachers) and is passed up for promotion and even has some trumped up charges brought against him.

A School Administrator

Bob, a fair-minded authority figure decides he wants to do more to help the kids so he works for a proposal to cut administrative costs by one percent and give the money to teachers so they can have a good miscellaneous account to buy badly needed materials for kids. He realizes that the average teacher only has about $60 a year to spend on the kids whereas administration wastes thousands on expensive conventions, travel and entertainment. He thinks that his group should be able to sacrifice a little for the greater good they claim to support.

He is aghast when he is called in by superiors and told to lay low here and not upset the apple cart. Sure the kids could use a miscellaneous account but that can be handled through a tax increase. Administration needs every dime it can get and more. He now realizes that if he does not play ball he will never move up the ladder and may even lose his job.

The Parents

True story I saw on TV a while back. A school was in desperate need of a ball field and the school was low on funds so the parents in the district got together and built one with their own funds.

However, school authorities told the parents that no one could use the ball field unless they built a second one because if the school has a ball field at all it must have two. One for girls and one for boys. There must be equal opportunity, even though the girls weren't bothered if they had one just for them. Consequently the ball field gathered dust because the school was threatened with law suits if it was used at all.

Sad but true. All seems well as long as you play along, but when you disturb the power of the beast you then find where it's presence is.

i was bored so i thought i would add to this again (and say "Hello Rakkan! I'm doing fooking fabulous!" ). hehe

Everyone chill.......thats it.
