Sick

Well, it's official. I'm down for the count. Sore throat, headache, sniffles, fever ... the works. Resisting the urge to eat crappy food and opting for the healthy stuff so my system will bounce back faster. There is so much to get done ... I really want go get better FAST so that I have the energy to do it!!

I decided to take the day off from Hebrew and sleep and rest. I watched the most recent Harry Potter movie (which brought on some MAJOR water works). The movies are amazing, but they also have some very interesting theological undertones which are a lot of fun to follow through the series. Brilliant work.

On a completely separate note,

Have you noticed that whenever someone says "I'm not [anti-semitic, racist, sexists], but ..." they are about to say something truly terrible? Everyone has a prejudice or two. It's the one's who can't admit it and feel the need to JUSTIFY it that you need to worry about. The people who KNOW they have a prejudice and ADMIT IT are usually pretty harmless. Actually, they are usually rather enlightened. I wonder what would happen if whenever you heard some say "I'm not anti-semitic, but ... " you turned around and said, "actually, you ARE anti-semitic" ?? Obviously a major breach of politic ... but it would be interesting to see people's reactions (beFORE they started screaming at you, of course).
