I was teaching at Fayetteville High School in Fayetteville, Arkansas..had
just eaten lunch in the English department workroom...heard an
announcement made over the intercom from the next room, but couldn't
understand what was said.  The bell rang, and as I went to classes I heard
kids buzzing about what they had just heard...that shots had been fired at
the motorcade and that Gov. Connally and the President were thought to
have been hit.  We were having six weeks tests that day...the principal
offered us the option of postponing our tests and listening to the news
over the intercom.  I was with a class of seniors when the news came.  I
remember feeling so helpless, there with a roomful of someone else's
shocked, terrified, weeping children, dealing with my own grief and trying
to help with theirs.  Not an easily forgettable day.

Well, I don't diagree that old age should be returned to its place of
honor, but I disagree vehemently that this would be the import of a
croning ceremony.  Most of the women I know that are crones became so
in their 40's and 50's--hardly old.  The positive effect *I* see is that
women who are beyond child-bearing age are sometimes made to feel that this
is some sort of tragedy.  In reality, the women I know that are past
menopause are delighted with how they feel, and certainly don't feel less
feminine. If anything, the contrary.

It would be a lot more worthwhile to melt the thing down for scrap metal

They'd get more use from that.

Agnes, I don't think that you understand the cost issues involved.  If
we shipped our old system to a third world country that couldn't afford
a computer THEY COULDN'T AFFORD TO TURN IT ON!  Literally.  We spent
about $100,000 in site preparation and staff training when we got the
thing.  I don't even want to think of the power bill for running the
beast.

The only reason it isn't complete yet is that I've been adding the
installments as they arrive.  Installments 5, 6, and 7 have been sitting
in my home directory on Ra (named anne5, anne6, anne7) since I first read
them early this morning.  If I had not had to teach three classes this
morning, I would have updated the ftp file by now.  At first it contained
only the first two parts.  Then the next two.  Soon the final three.
In fact, I'll do it right now, at risk of being late for a 1 p.m. committee
meeting -- just to show my appreciation of the writings of even those people
who don't think right about matters political.  :-)
