Recomended Reading…on the Internet

Filed under: Reading — admin0 @ 11:08 am

This was supposed to be the first Reading on the Internet post, but I never got around to finishing it. Now I have. Enjoy.

Things you Really Need to Learn: What every person needs to know to be a functional in our society, leading a happy and productive life. I think that I’ve mastered most of these.
How to write articles and essays: This is something I need to work on, although my biggest enemy is time management.
Thing you should learn this school year: Mostly business oriented, but can be applicable in all fields.
Guide to Logical Fallacies: Brushing up on your logic enables you to eliminate them from your arguments
How to evaluate websites: Or, “how not to look like a dumbass when someone reads your bibliography.”
Anti-protester manual: Essentially, this is the President using the Government to further his political agenda.
Consceintious Objector vs. Security Risk: Not every objector is genuine, but this really stung after Libby, who leaked the name of a CIA operative, had his sentence commuted.
There isn’t necessarily a link between poverty and terrorism: Gotta learn something new every day
Bush is a hypocrite: Go figure.
The Jerry Seinfeld Productivity Secret: I need this, or something like it. I thought that’s what My Progress was going to be like.
How to Develop Independent Thought: I agree with most of these statements. I find item #4 to be a tad redundent, with it’s contribution to independent thought roughly the same as #2.
What really kills Americans: Surprise, surprise! Our government is “fighting” the wrong “enemy”! Some of the other fact sheets on this site look worth checking out as well.
Our Educational System is in Shambles: Go figure.
A Brief History of Court-Packing: I had never realized that this had been done before Roosevelt. Not that it makes it any less an abuse of power.
