Coming of Age Inspirational Kids

Message from a self-described privacy” freak”:


Nice try.

Props for the idea.

Keep tell in’ ya, it is dangerous to eek, squeak, sneek reparations into every day, daily living.


I do not admire your effort. I am constantly amazed by your continual and blatant disregard for the truth.


Whew.

A lot on the plate. (GB)

A lot to swallow.

Going down in lumps.

Maybe coming up that way too😳.


Yuck. Ick.


Can you say riding a bicycle backwards?😵


Good luck.


My suspicious side “goes to a place” ponders, thinks even that you are randomly checking my mind map, mindfulness map, the routes and roads of how I get to where I get


It.😃


See how my mind works, “randomly” allowing my sentence and thought fragments to guide your incessant “nosiness” of another’s business.


Maybe figure out my password, my passwords.😏


Jeez. Does it ever end with you?

Gossip?

Inuendo. Rumour.

Anchor babbliciousness?


In the


Spirit of togetherness and luv?


Personal Responsibility. (CT)


what agency do you work for.


Your agency.

My agency.

Whose agency.


Careful what you wish for

Success is defined how?

By who

or whom

By all, any, both, each, every, few, many, more, most, no, several, some, that, this, these, those, what, which.


Modifiers to live by

or bye.

Gibberish.

Babble

one man’s inflection is another man’s “free write”

whew

we are on a roll.

Of

all sounding like “babbling idiots” like good little baby’s/ies do.


Able to roll their lips into a raspberry slobberfest of projectile spit.😁😂😮‍💨😷


Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahhahahayahahah.

Did you catch the “y”.

Awareness is as awareness does.

Awoke awakenings of awakened wokeilicious wokeism was borne out of a viral disease.

In a wet market

outside


and spread all over the world

in rapid speed time

scarey stuff.


Ick.


persuasivesness is as persuasivess can do.

if you do not forget

what the message is.


Let’s try a reasonable experiment of a passing along a message:

Choose subject.

Properly research issues involved.

Reflect upon the dimensions of various questions.

Arising from the problem or

The various alternatives.

And their consequences.

The most demanding task.

Has still not been undertaken. (HWS)


Tired yet?

May be you simply do not care too.


exercise


Personal Responsibility.


Ok.

Here we go.


The demanding part:

Exerting🏋️‍♀️the craftsmanship necessary to formulate a compelling editorial message.


Whoa!

Cool.

All this power at your fingertips.


Personal Responsibility.



Avoid, stay away from the BS. (Baloney Sausage)


Requirements:

Lack of artificiality.


Ok. Now.

A mastery of words is needed to say precisely what one means.

Yikes.

To keep the language simple and readable.

Yikes.

Again.

To provide an interesting “style” which provides “zing”

To one’s writing.

Yikes

Using: figurative language, literary illusions, interesting analogies when appropriate.

When appropriate.


Gobbldeegook.


Maybe.

Maybe not.

Why?

To present one’s arguments in an orderly straightlined fashion.

Straightlined fashion.


sounds easy enough.

Except, there is more.

With convincing documentation leading to explicit conclusions,

Acceptable to the reader or listener.


I gotta take a break.

Maybe sit down for a spell.


That was a boatload aka lotta information to take in, chew, swallow and digest.


where it goes after that

no body knows.


Jonathan Daniels took a stab at it.

Editor Emeritus of Raleigh News and Observer.

He stabbed:


”A master writer may help one understand the architecture of style, but it takes each writer alone to “make the music which best writing requires”.


What is news?


MAKE THE MUSIC WHICH BEST WRITING REQUIRES.🎼🎹🥁🪘🎷🎺🪗🎸🪕🎻🎤


What is news?


Mr.Daniels offered this:

”Here, finally, is my formula for editorial writing: Ink, adrenalin, enough arrogance to put your opinions against the world or the dog catcher’s, enough exhibitionism to show itself through any patterns of anonymity, bullheadedness, occasional flashes of Bombastes or pastoral poetry in equal measure, a few drops of pity, and above all, enough humor to appreciate the folly of the world and to provide a sneaking suspicion that the writer himself may be part of the joke.”

🤪😜😂🤣😅😇😏🥳🤩🥸🥹

Can’t really argue with the formula.

Appreciate the sentiments.

A lot on the plate of undertaking.

Bring it On!


Because

Personal Responsibility is a biggie.

Said it long ago.

smart guy today finally agreed and said the words.

thank you CT.


Further.

Science

does matter.

but not in the way you may think.

Not in the way it and stuff is happening today

The editorialist, in seeking out truth, NEEDS

to think as a scientist.

Research his facts.

From reliable sources

Discount his own prejudices

weighing both pros and con arguments in

arriving at valid conclusions.


More:

He NEEDS to be aware of any verbal and statistical fallacies

employed by others, including the sources relied upon for his own factual information as well as the efforts of opponents to refute his editorial arguments.

Efforts

Of

Opponents

To

Refute

His

Editorial

Arguments.

Why?


Because there are many extenuating circumstances.

Can be many extenuating circumstances.

just plain

circumstances.

Why?

Humans are human😃

There exists,

Deceptive practices.

And coincidences.


Kudos to the individual that can decipher between the two.

I cannot

successfully

on

my own

personally I have asked an army of good folks and furry friends to help me.

And good folks

and furry friends there

are.

Ok back to the negative—but just for a bit.

Deceptive practices, whether intentional or coincidental need to be sought out.

Why?

In a business sense and in life sense it is important.

Because when delivering any kind of news—good or bad—it is very important.

In this case, the editorialist is to maintain his posture as a scientific thinker, a trustworthy investigator, and a credible editorialist—

The mass media editorialist also needs to be aware of the various verbal and statistical fallacies which often creep


creep

into persuasive messages in order to avoid them in his own writing.

creep🫣😦😲🤫


The editorialist, as an objective scientific investogator and trustworthy evaluator, seeks to marshall

to marshall his evidence in a way which will allow him to appeal to reason.

Hurray. Hurray.

To appeal to reason.

what a novel concept.


Without dwelling on the concept.

Unwarranted assumptions

The logicians

know well about this concept

The category of verbal fallacy.

Thank you logicians

For your contribution

to orderly

linear

thinking.

Brevity.

It takes two

maybe many more

kinds

or more

of thinkers

And hard questions:

Asking the complex question

Ignoring the question

Presenting irrational evidence

Begging the question

Writing a non sequitor


Has no bearing.

Has all the bearing.

Bear the bear.

Bear the lesson that you are living

Breathe, Wait, Think

and

then dive right in and

bear it

so

Bring it on.
