tells us about how he always has been pleased with the airport and its security, at least until recently. He says that after 9/11 the airport security has entered another dimension - you have to open your laptop, take off your shoes, empty your pockets, loosen your belt and shed your jacket, and spread your arms and legs and prepare to be violated with that beeping wand pushed into awkward places. He says that just when you think all of this is enough, you have to think again, because you have to smile

trying to tell us. One thing that most can agree on is that we know for sure is that this book is the final chapter in God’s plan for the human race. We can spend all day trying to figure out what these different things mean but the bottom line is, it doesn’t matter what we think and what we believe is going to happen.

But to witness these cowards at what they entitle “work”, I must confess that we have found ourselves to be seated at the fiery gates of hell itself. To spend eternity here would be comparable to Dante’s “Inferno” (Alighieri, 1314). Yeats: I could not agree more Mr. Shaw. But perhaps for very different reasons.

When I say “correctives” it might seem that I am implying the existence of absolute objectivity. I do not mean to. I am referring to relative objectivity. There are countless reasons why our peculiar little human vantage point gives us only a fragmentary and systematically distorted perspective on the world. We can see only about two octaves of the
