If life is a test, the Trib flunks

Today’s Chicago Tribune editorial claims their “philosophy” is that “Life is a test.”
Wow. That explains a lot about the Tribune, doesn’t it?
We have a different take on life, and so do a lot of others. For example:
  • Life is one grand sweet song, so start the music. Ronald Reagan
  • Life is an exciting business, and most exciting when it is lived for others. Helen Keller
  • Life is like a ten-speed bicycle. Most of us have gears we never use. Charles Schultz
  • Life is a great big canvas; throw all the paint you can at it. Danny Kaye
  • Hold fast to your dreams, for if dreams die, then life is like a broken winged bird that cannot fly. Langston Hughes
  • The purpose of life is not to be happy. It is to be useful, to be honorable, to be compassionate, to have it make some difference that you have lived and lived well. Ralph Waldo Emerson
  • The purpose of life is to find out “Who am I?”, “Why am I here?” and “Where am I going?” George Harrison
Besides, most of the Trib’s readers think standardized tests are “bogus.” If you haven’t voted in this Tribune poll yet, do it now!
