“Referring to professor Muller's Berkely Earth Surface Temperature Project, "The Best project's treatment of science and of the public has been shoddy. That so many so-called reporters in the mainstream media should have been so uncritical and accepting of what was clearly misrepresentation is shocking. Once again they have been found to be supporters and advocates for a particular point of view when they should have been critical commentators and journalists. Climate science is important.

“A good book deserves an active reading. The activity of reading does not stop with the work of understanding what a book says. It must be completed by the work of criticism, the work of judging. The undemanding reader fails to satisfy this requirement, probably even more than he fails to analyze and interpret. He not only makes no effort to understand; he also dismisses a book simply by putting it aside and forgetting it. Worse than faintly praising it, he damns it by giving it no critical consideration whatever.” GivingDoeBookReadingUnderstandingForgetEffortFailingJudgingReaderActivityDeserveCriticismPraiseCriticalActiveConsiderationRequirementsGood Book Author:Mortimer Adler
“In a dating and courtship relationship, I would not have you spend five minutes with someone who belittles you, one who is constantly critical of you, one who is cruel at your expense and may even call it humor.

In this person's care, you deserve to feel physically safe and emotionally secure.” FeelsMayPersonsSelfEnoughCareLife IsJoyFiveMinutesLove YouSelf EsteemSafeDeserveToughDignityDatingCriticalEsteemSecureExpensesAssaultFive MinutesCourtshipBelittleLife Is ToughLife Humor Author:Jeffrey R.
