An Assault On Reason - by Al Gore |
|
Edited on Mon Jun-18-07 06:48 PM by ThomWV
I have not finished Al Gore's book, An Assault on Reason, yet but in the third of it I've read it has been a bit disappointing in some small parts. There are arguments that simply fail in places and there is no need for them to. I think whoever edited it did a poor job to be quite honest about it. I sincerely hope there is a second edition that gets substantial editing before it is released.
I am not saying don't buy or read the book though. Quite the contrary. It is a 'must read' book in my opinion and it is also my opinion that Al Gore will become an historically great President in his own right, not just in comparison to the treasonous bastard that is in office now. So please don't think I'm defaming v'President Gore in any way, I'm just saying that the book gets lost in places and that some of the arguments simply do not track from evidence to conclusion.
Edited for spelling

But that doesn't change anything about incomplete or insupportable arguments in its middle.
Its just pretty simple mistakes, the equivelent of you or I losing our train of thought while speaking but not stopping and backing up to get back on track. Its ammunition for his enemies, that's all I'm saying, and with pretty straight forward editing it could be fixed - or should have been fixed before the book was released. Let me go get an example and I'll be back. You'll see what I mean.
