50+ years ago I had an 8th grade English teacher we called " blue haired Miss Jones". We thought she was hopelessly old and fuddy duddy and out of touch. But in all fairness she rigorously taught us English at every level, grammar, sentence structure, spelling, clarity, having a main point and crammed as many great novels into our heads …
50+ years ago I had an 8th grade English teacher we called " blue haired Miss Jones". We thought she was hopelessly old and fuddy duddy and out of touch. But in all fairness she rigorously taught us English at every level, grammar, sentence structure, spelling, clarity, having a main point and crammed as many great novels into our heads as possible. By about the 3rd month into the school started, we giggled that she was constantly using the phrase when we had to describe the theme of a book as " Man's inhumanity to man"... We thought she was ridiculous. But I quickly learned to incorporate that sentence into every paper I had to hand then and I got very good grades. It took me about 50 years to realize that "blue-haired Miss Jones" was on to something! "Man's inhumanity to man" has been around since day one and is very much alive and well now. Our challenge as you say: determine which are vipers, blatant or sneaky. Thank you "blue-haired Miss Jones" for clueing me in early. Thank you Jessica!
My high school history teacher had served in WW2 and seen a lot of evil crap. He told us repeatedly "You can't imagine what inhuman acts humans do to each other for no sane reason".
And it's all because a relatively small number of powerful psychopathic idiots playing "mine is bigger than yours" send other people's children off to fight and die in wars that are almost always nonsensical.
