12.31.07 Diminutive Fractions
Monday, December 31st, 200712.31.07 Diminutive Fractions
Granddaughter : Grandpa, where did the fraction 3/5th’s come from?
GrandPa : Some might say it came from the future, but others think idealism transcends the boundary of time
Granddaughter : Why 3/5th’s ?
GrandPa : Because 5/5th’s wouldn’t fit the time frame. Slavery was and is a difficult nut to crack. Reverse engineering the doctrine of equality began with 3/5th’s as a process, a work in progress, an attribute of America’s manifest destiny, to bring real equality to the nations of the earth. She cannot do it alone and has currently deviated from her intended purpose. One might call it collateral damage from the military industrial complex. That two headed beast is no figment of my imagination.
Granddaughter : So 3/5th’s was used to begin the disassembly of racial and species bigotry, documenting the hope our founding ‘mothers’ and ‘fathers’ had for the eventual, actual 5/5th’s achievement to be the cornucopia of Aquarian revelation?
GrandPa : Yes. Baby steps for a new paradigm where primitive religious views evaporate when confronted with fuzzy logic’s ability to defy norms (levitation neutralizes gravitational inertia created by religious ignorance, just like electronic voting and unconstitutional court interference neutralizes the electoral college). There was no Adam, no act of creation from clay, Eve did not come from Adam’s rib, she didn’t tempt fate and was never cursed by her maker. That’s all fiction.
The societal goal of 5/5th’s becomes vastly easier when evolution is recognized as being the primary reason homo Sapiens exist today. No seven days of wonder, just billions and billions of ‘days’ of awe.
Granddaughter : Grandpa, where did the notion of ‘Eden’ come from?
GrandPa : Some might say it came from the future, but others think idealism transcends the boundaries of time.
Granddaughter : Where did the GOP come from.
GrandPa : Greed Orchestrates Power.
