Nomenclature
From Mike Goheen tonight I learn the term ‘Majority World’ to use in place of ‘Third World’. I like that replacement because it reminds me that I am one of the minority rich from whom much is due. I feel we (me, this city, the churhes) are all playing penuckle, inanely entertaining ourselves as if the world were a happy place.
With the Agur the oracle I say, “Surely I am too stupid to be a man. I have not the understanding of a man. I have not learned wisdom, nor have I knowledge of the Holy One.”
I have no idea what I’m doing for New Year’s.
One very very good lecturer at uni once told me all about the stupidity of phrases like Globalisation and the World Wide Web.
I have to work in a supermarket on New Year’s Eve. And the day after :(
Nomenclature is a very nice word to say, I say.
“Inanely entertaining ourselves as if the world were a happy place.” Rage, rage, against the dying of the light.
On a happy note, I get to work all night tonight at the after hours centre, hopefully people will be too happy to be ill, yeah right.
Good on you both.
