Making the World Safe for Democracy – One Therapy Dog at a Time
By Ed Moser (PTP’s Resident Wag)
December 2018




I received a bizarre message from my George Washington University alma mater school dean:
  • We have set aside December 6 as 'stress-less day', when you can pause a moment to hug a therapy dog, get a free massage, participate in guided meditation, decorate cookies, and paint pottery.
 
We used to widely commemorate December 7 as Pearl Harbor Day, as a kind of cautionary warning to be semper paratus (‘always ready’). Now this from the dean, on the day before. 
 
How can a society survive, in a tough and challenging world, when this kind of pabulum is put out by the highest officials of our top schools? 
 
Therapy dogs?!?
 
Imagine the following communiqué:
  • June 5, 1944--"Comrades: Before undertaking our great crusade, excuse, our great jihad, of the invasion of, excuse me, the incursion into Normandy, I urge all the diverse members of our peacekeeping mission to hug a therapy dog, decorate cookies & crumpets, and chill out with a healing massage. After all, we wouldn't want the Nazis to be better prepared than us."
    --Your friend, and supreme allied counselor, Dwight Eisenhower
