“The Peter Principle”
~~~ no no sorry ~~ this will not be another testament
to the never ending quest for sex -on - demand..
btw what ever happened to ’salt peter’?
in my memory…this was a potion to ‘keep it in your pants’
[also used to make gun powder?]
years back….men did not have the problems they have today..
[why?]
in fact, history will bear me out….men seemed to be in need of
something that would retard the sex
drive…ok so thats my
homage to the little blue pill…
My apology to Laurence J. Peter…the author of
“The Peter Principle”
He argued “that people tend to be elevated
to the level of their personal incompetence…”
Sadly I concur and yet I understand…that we as humans are
incredibly complex creatures and no one of us
think alike…
We all start off believing in our Free Will
and yet
given the physical factors…schools, books, tapes,
music, and the environment we live in, lead to much
of our behavior each day..whether good or bad..
Religion plays a role..it would be senseless to
allow the faithful [and by that I mean
those few folks that make the ritual trek to church]
to go home believing that their own free will to do good..
that it was not in play!
They preach it is imperative to believe that we can improve
ourselves by ‘willing’ to do so.
We say things like
“There but for the Grace of God, go I…”
does this mean that God plays favorites?
and everyone walking around without an
affliction is a ‘chosen one’
nah!!
cant be
talk to me!! kate

Dear Kate,
I saw a very interesting video on youtube called
“the four horsemen”. It’s a conversation between 4 authors whose works have angered the religious right (christian, jewish, and muslim). In it Christopher Hitchens, author of “God is Not Great: How Religion Poisons Everything” says in response to the idea that his words have offended the faithful, that we should all be offended by the general proposition that without ‘belief’, we have no way to gauge right and wrong.
Here is a link to the video:

I would love if you watched it and gave your thoughtful review.
Thank you,
Billy
