But when studying the sciences, there is only one right answer: it's either yes or no, or there is a specific number attached. Patty has found a lot of comfort in that these past few years. Science is not a perfect model, but it got us to the moon at one point so there's that.Patty is Deadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07717777500117142160noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8171370990642927748.post-20017869216719690022014-01-25T11:06:24.411-05:002014-01-25T11:06:24.411-05:00Yes, Heidi - that is the essence of education to m...Yes, Heidi - that is the essence of education to me. You "learn" what you are taught, but only insomuch as you are required to regurgitate it on the exam. Our responsibility to ourselves is to consider what we were taught and draw our own conclusions. Just memorizing and accepting without due consideration is robotic. Those "students" frighten me!Matthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06766282574442161929noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8171370990642927748.post-19292357867692879622014-01-25T09:28:12.462-05:002014-01-25T09:28:12.462-05:00I also watched GTP and it is on DVD, Matt.

I love me some Johnny Knoxville. <br />I think Robert makes some very good points, and it reminds me of my time taking college classes at a MI public college in which I felt all of the professors were trying to pull the bullshit wool over my eyes. I just had to regurgitate whatever they wanted to hear on the exam.

Haven't read the book but I recently saw GRAND THEFT PARSONS where Johnny Knoxville plays him...it's pretty good.<br /><br />Funny how he says CM targeted Melcher, then him, then Harold True and then settled for the LaBiancas but that it "wasn't a coincidence". when it was that the LaBiancas lived next door to the True house.<br /><br />But remember for years we've had LK on record as asking Charlie about the True house but he said, no, the one next door...starshiphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13207679706874165027noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8171370990642927748.post-62595085240256379782014-01-24T13:34:06.686-05:002014-01-24T13:34:06.686-05:00What a brilliant story and so well-wrtten, the guy...What a brilliant story and so well-wrtten, the guy has style. <br /><br />Now, he said one very interesting thing. <br /><br />"First, they went to my house, then Waverly Drive".<br /><br />I never heard that one before. So the 'stops' Charlie made on the way to the LaB's weren't just random?<br /><br />Have any of you heard this before? Harold True, yes. But not this. I assumed that Charlie was just pretending to kill to make his followers believe in his capacity for killing, and/or kill time because he had left Spahn too early and knew when the La Bs would be home.<br /><br />Kaufman says one of the stops was his house. If this were true, then adding that to Terry Melcher…there would be a coherent theme of getting back at Those-Who-Have-Let-Charlie-Down.<br /><br />I am thinking about the thing Greg thingummy said about how wild Charlie looked, how he'd changed, how dangerous he appeared: "the electricity was just pouring out of him. He looked like an animal in a cage". And what the Rolling Stone guy said about Charlie having, even now, presence, a force, a power. When Charlie was young and empowered by all those girls, all thinking together..could it have had some effect beyond what we understand?<br /><br />I do this shiatsu treatment now and I know for certain these forces are real and powerful. I was nearly shaken to bits by it today.<br /><br />fiona1933https://www.blogger.com/profile/00041216158548547908noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8171370990642927748.post-12821325401427597492014-01-24T12:37:58.751-05:002014-01-24T12:37:58.751-05:00JC, here's the passage right out of the book:

BUT if a "teacher" causes YOU to THINK you discovered something. HE is a GREAT "teacher." So what about a book or movie? Is the filmmaker a "manipulator" OR "teacher?" CLUE: IF you PAID for a "license" to teacher, YOU get to call yourself a "teacher."<br /> <br />WHY did most everyone connected to the Manson Family keep coming back? Even AFTER they realized there was some bad news incorporated therein.<br /> <br />Oh! shit now I'm trying to "manipulating" YOU. I better get on down and sign up for Mr.O's "Get an education 'certificate'" NOW and pay for it the rest of your life" program.<br /><br />Robert Hendricksonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02880909248364077567noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8171370990642927748.post-22944797433403127402014-01-24T10:42:14.964-05:002014-01-24T10:42:14.964-05:00THANKS!
