Review of The Assault on Reason by Al Gore ****

Downright scary!
Most of us need to watch less television.  This book presents a compelling argument for that.  His discussion of how the quality of news needs improving is also quite compelling.  Very accurately, he presents that near sighted economics is one reason that society’s reasoning is being assaulted.

Review of An Inconvenient Truth by Al Gore. Incomplete, and has disputable facts, but well intentioned.

Read the book Super Freakonomics and find out more about the disputable facts Al Gore presents in this movie. There are other errors in this flick that aren’t even mentioned in Steve Dubner’s book. However, I assume Gore was well intentioned when he did this, and that much means a lot. When working to improve something, we to be more careful that we do not make mistakes when presenting our arguments, as sometimes that can be the downfall of a noble cause. And, while there might be errors, it is downright silly to discard this. Thanks Al Gore. Better luck next time!
