"Putting on the Game Face"

This blog is a doorway into the mind of Percy Goodfellow. Don't be shocked at the lost boys of Namby-Pamby Land and the women they cavort with. Watch as his caricatures blunder about the space between audacious hope and the wake-up calls of tomorrow. Behold their scrawl on the CRT, like graffitti on a subway wall. Examine it through your own lens...Step up my friends, and separate the pepper from the rat poop. Welcome to my abode...the armpit of yesterday, the blinking of an eye and a plank to the edge of Eternity.

Note: This blog is my journal. I've no interest in persuading anyone to adopt my views. What I write is whatever happens to interest me when I start pounding the keys.

In response to "Anunnaki Birth Mothers "

I knew Mesopotamia was responsible for all the bad rap our humankind has been getting. No wonder, it is still messy there.
I have heard about the Anunnaki women, and I have met many who believe the earth was settled by aliens. Then, biologically incubated! It must be the reason some of us look like apes.
Good one!

In response to "Throwing out the Baby with the Bathwater"

My first read. Like your style and definitely will come back for more.
As to this posting, I'm thinking that that was a long and real tasty course of appetisers, but the real meat on the bone is where the final paragraph winds up.
Personally, I think in months and perhaps years to come, a lot of questions will be asked, a lot of answers thought of, and when the dust settles me may know and understand just what really filled up that powder keg set off in Minneapolis.
Contrary to the popular progressive line of reasoning.

We might have spotted a thousand indicators along the way, over the past decade. Smaller stories buried away in the middle of that "long march through the institutions." The rioters are hardly institutional. But I think they are the minions, of the cadres, trained by'thinkers' who came up with what they thought were bright ideas all the way back in the 1960's.

Anyone can be a fan of Hendrix, and think that playing 'air guitar' is as good as the real thing. Apparently it's just that easy to become educated now, or so it seems.

In response to "My Prediction for the Midterm Elections"

I like your prediction and so hope it will come true. Only then, the anarchists may rethink their ways, just maybe.

In response to "The Ultimate Triumph of Good"

I am with you on this. I think the Left is doing everything in their power to make this President's work unsuccessful, and I especially resent the "resist" order from the top and the anarchy and division it has caused.

I am an independent voter and I am not liking what I see one bit.

In response to "Quit Blaming the Field Goal Kicker"

Hello Percy
I enjoyed your blog and the comparison that were made. I think you have a point when it come to links in the chain, but I don't necessarily agree with the conclusion. I believe those who enjoy hunting don't use semi automatic weapons to kill their pray. I don't think semi automatic weapons are needed in the general public. The proliferation of these guns have caused a great deal of problems, not only with school shooters, but gangs and other individuals. I may have my head in the sand but I don't believe we are going to attacked and if small groups come ashore to cause havoc and destruction we have the police and FBI to rely on. This is a good article and very thought provoking.

In response to "Don't Get Me Started"

Funny, I used to be quite a liberal, too. Though not the kind of a liberal who would blindly vote for someone who never really liked women or cared about the minorities even if she insisted she did.

Because of the way the Democrats have changed their party as you pointed out in detail and the way they have acted as such sore losers, I may never vote for Democrats again. Then, whoever did the hacking, they didn't make up the e-mails or the other facts; they brought into open what was already there.

Lousy blogger? I know it is difficult to write when you have a life, and we do. So take your time, it is always worth the wait!

Producing Good Copy

The effect of good writing is making the flow of information as easy as possible. It is more than using abstract symbols to transfer information from one mind to another. Rather, it's also arranging those language symbols in a manner that allows the thoughts to move effortlessly off the medium and into the consumer's brain. There are many aspects that go into this process. Some of these are editorial, artistic, logical, presentational, emotional, and compatible, naming but a few.

Editorial: It is easy to think that writing copy full of grammatical errors is fine, as long as the message gets across. This is a dangerous assumption. Just as someone assess others by their actions and appearance, so do readers assess a writer's skill, competence and credibility by the quality of their manuscript. Sure, a consumer can and will decipher intent but the more glitches, the more effort it takes which impedes the flow of data. It takes extra work and this detracts from an easy understanding of the material.

Artistic: Reading something well written is like seeing an object in a museum, artfully rendered. It creates a sense of wonder, even awe and the lens of the mind opens wider to take it in.

Logical: The arrangement of the information the writer imparts is also important. The human mind tends to process data with an eye to a beginning, middle and end. We like to see problems identified, facts provided, possibilities considered, analysis, conclusions and recommendations. There is an optimal sequence to this informational flow and the closer a writer comes to achieving it the better.

Presentational: If one can imagine a cave man telling a story or providing a verbal history, it's not just the information being imparted but how that information is being presented. Those early story tellers, relied on creating the most vivid imagery they possibly could, in ways that made the listeners receptive to what they were seeing and hearing. They danced around, shook rattles, brandished spears and made the most delightful and horrible facial expressions. It's not only the substance, which lies at the core, but also the manner in which it cries out to be received and processed by the mind.

Emotional: An appeal to the emotions is as important as an appeal to the intellect. Before humans learned the formal processes of reason and logic our ancestors used their emotions as a default in processing data. If it looked good, smelled good, felt good, tasted good or sent a telltale sensation, it was emotion that caused humans to act the way they did.

Compatible: It is important that the data resonate with what a person has learned earlier. Humans like patterns and order to guide their thinking and character development.

No doubt there are many more of these aspects that I've overlooked. Those above got only a lick and a kiss. Good writing is an appeal to all of these and the more skilled a writer becomes the easier it is for the consumer's mind to soak up and understand what's being fed into their bio-processors.
