The suspense is not killing me.

I'm not prejudging. She might have overlooked it the first time and not been online since Tuesday.

No she doesn't. For instance, she's said nothing to the question I've asked her here twice.

And some things in quick motion.

Keep this in mind.

Problem solved.

OK, AK, but...

Also if the driver wants to know where the gas-pedal is but not the brake.

Don't think too long, Dwayne. One can be entitled to hold incorrect opinions. Yes you do. Compassion is necessary in order to do the job of being human. Help me here, please. Who is "house"? Likely I missed something upthread or elsewhere. She posted "later." I suspect you may be confusing showing compassion with having compassion. While playing poker, I can hold a royal flush without showing it. Compassion is the royal flush of humanity. In fact, it's the substantive value of any card you can hold. I wouldn't want someone driving a nail into my wallboard who's not interested in deveoping compassion. It's why we're on earth.

Cynical, do you deserve compassion?

Was it pulling a sleigh? Airborne? On December 24?

Can't say I'm surprised, Mr. Smith!

WASHINGTON (AFP) – US elected officials scored abysmally on a test measuring their civic knowledge, with an average grade of just 44 percent, the group that organized the exam said Thursday. Ordinary citizens did not fare much better, scoring just 49 percent correct on the 33 exam questions compiled by the Intercollegiate Studies Institute (ISI). "It is disturbing enough that the general public failed ISI's civic literacy test, but when you consider the even more dismal scores of elected officials, you have to be concerned," said Josiah Bunting, chairman of the National Civic Literacy Board at ISI. "How can political leaders make informed decisions if they don't understand the American experience?" he added. The exam questions covered American history, the workings of the US government and economics. [web:d115171d2f]http://www.americancivicliteracy.org/resources/quiz.aspx[/web:d115171d2f]

Concerning spoilage resulting from electronic shock, here is one preventive approach. Disclosure: I have been a recipient of, and a teacher in, and a teacher-educator for - to extend your metaphor - this method of culturing your maturing milk into cheese. Bon appétit!

Well, below is a maybe more nuanced approach. But I suspect there's not enough cheese at the end of this maze to hash out another fight with Dwayne. As to praising or not praising children, how about let's just leave it out of the equation and not distract them from the intrinsic satisfactions (rewards) of accomplishing challenging projects? I don't think it helps kids to be compulsively checking How'm I doin'? How'm I doin'? Man, just dive into the situation and forget about yourself a while! That's what generates liveliness in experience. [web:30d2dba7d8]http://www.valt.helsinki.fi/blogs/jmikkone/post11.htm[/web:30d2dba7d8]
