With or without religion, you would have good people doing good things and evil people doing evil things. But for good people to do evil things, that takes religion.
The good life, as I conceive it, is a happy life. I do not mean that if you are good you will be happy - I mean that if you are happy you will be good.
Too much sanity may be madness and the maddest of all, to see life as it is and not as it should be.
I enjoy paying taxes. With them I buy civilization.

I was very bad yesterday. I didn’t get my day started to late afternoon so I didn’t finish grading my tests. I’m only about a third of the way through them. I’m going out tonight and tomorrow I’m going down to Philly so I might not get them done till this weekend. I’ll do my best.
The tests I have graded haven’t been good. Remember that problem I mentioned last entry: 
most people got it wrong. Some were really creative in their mistakes. They remember that I did something on one problem with no notion of why I did it then try to apply it when it doesn’t apply. Some students try very hard to not understand anything, they just want mechanical processes.
Once I realized I wasn’t going to finish the grading I did some calling for Moveon.org. So far I’ve called 113 people and reached 13 people. I know that doesn’t sound like a good rate but that is what they said to expect. If you are not happy with the way our government is working sign up with Moveon’s Call for Change. Click on the link at the bottom of this entry. This is really important. There are so many close races, you can really make a difference.
Tonight I’m going to see Madeleine Peyroux at Town Hall. I think I’m going to go home then come back into the city. That way I don’t have to bring my briefcase to the show. I might end up staying in my office so I can have more time to grade. I’ll have to see how I feel.
This entry is really different from my last one. I am not revealing anything deep inside of me. I am not making and grand observations. I guess I’m just not inspired. I’ll try and do better tomorrow.
