If I ever want to lose weight, I should avoid stress

May 28, 2006 17:02

Like for instance this afternoon. Watching a direct broadcast of the Pope's visit to Auschwitz - one of the most significant and spiritually demanding events of his pontificate - only to have it overlain by a continuous stream of chatter from broadcasters who showed not the least understanding of anything that was going on and kept treating the Pope like a politician (you see, he is doing this because he wants a rapprochement with Jews; never mind that a spiritual leader cannot and should not have kept away from the place of the darkest evil in living memory, the place too where many Catholics were martyred). And then going on the internet and finding that the abortion that now passes for a government in Italy - where the fall of Berlusconi does not seem to have led to anything like the arrival of human beings to power - intends to force employment quotas by sex for public and private employers. This immoral and insulting (to women) practice will no doubt be disastrous for Italian business and give yet another area where businessmen are forced to break the law just to survive, and it is completely against the Constitution's principle of equality before the law - but never mind. With news like this, is it surprising that I have to stun myself with excessive eating?
