How to read.

Many people, even some teachers think that they know how to read...they don’t. What many have learned is how to scan. Scanning or speed reading is not bad as a extra skill as it allows you to cover a lot of pages fast, which may be ok for a novel but is not good for a political speech or a history book where every word has meaning, Perhaps the smartest Prof I ever knew, had the habit of keeping note paper in his books and writing down words new to him. He told me of “Course it is better to look the words up at the time, but one may not have a good dictionary to hand and this is far better than remaining ignorant .” He, by the way spoke at least 5 tongues and was a language Professor of the Old School.

That habit will also will lead to careful listening which is a required skill for a voter in a free Republic like ours.

Example? Sure. Vote for me and I will work for a better world. Look at the word “better” what does that pol mean by better? Why what ever you think he means. In other words the pol is saying trust me….

The power of words

 "Words" Part ll

Bob was sitting in Dr.H's office visiting the Wellness Center where Grrr worked.

"Boy, I have long had that feeling that words had power in themselves Doc; but I figured I had been reading too much history.'

"On no my boy" replied the kindly old learned hadrosaur. "It is a very proven concept, Used every day by salebeings, actors, and politicians. You see first they size the mark,if one may use so vulgar a word. Once that is done a skilled being simply closes the deal."

'I would not try to sell one of my Flower's( his younger wife the hippy raptor) books on say world love to you but a book on history of love ? That would be, as you humans say, a snap. A politician, need only the ability to measure his "mark" in his or her case voters and the ability to convince them that the lie is the truth as it gains the goal of office,which will be used for "GOOD" things. He or she must only make the mark believe and he or she is elected.

True since Sumer."

Think of but 10 words my boy..Freedom..republic..democracy..fairness..love..kind..etc and apply them to any argument, no matter if they fit or not. Done with skill and you will win every time. The other being wont know why but he or she will end Thanking you."

Talking about the value of words

 Words have emotional appeal. My dear Bob. said Dr. H, the Hadrosaur(duckbill who is Grrr's boss at the wellness center and Who married Flower the hippy raptor.) Perhaps Grrr being a former actor, has a better hummi if I may say ,grasp, of that fact? Thus the "Timmy" name.

"I had not looked at it in that light" replied Bob.

"Oh yes. It is a well known concept in our field and also alas well known to sales people and politicians.

You see Bob, some words bypass, if I may put it so crudely, the reasoning part of a being's mind and appeal to feeling. Take  the word "democracy"  or "freedom"; beings hear it and it gives them a nice warm feeling. Many  unethical  beings have ridden it to wealth and power. Grrr being an actor, is very uh....learned in it..basic tool of his, former trade as it where. Not that I would have you think that my colleague and brother in law is unethical, but...he  can be a bit of a scamp."

Grrr woke up..part 2

 "I see you monkey people did a great job while we Dinos were napping." replied Grrr 

"Hey ya rotten reptile, at least we humans were not off napping!" replied Bob

"Well you would have looked a lot better if you were. We left you with a smart human and you let him be replaced by a being who cannot even walk up or on a stage!"

"Well he can urr  and he is ur...Ok ya got me pal but I did not vote for him."

Grrr replied"I never could see this voting business. Any who want to be head rex, well one goes up one side of the volcano and the other dino goes up the other. As you know who ever comes down is head Rex. That is the logical way to do this political stuff. Toss me a cold Root bear buddy? It has been a long sleep.

Gee, said Bob with a evil look I forgot do you take "Lite" or "Diet" RB??

"What! Asked Grrr, with a roar of horror "you gotta be kidding."

"Hey..no need to get mad at me. I told ya hibernation was good for you, We do it every few years."

said Grrr.

"Yeah? Well humans dont waste time sleeping! We got the world to run"! Bob replied

"OK  if you say so old ape But is the world in any better shape since we Dinos took a little nap? asked Grrr.

"Well uh  No. we got two going on three wars and inflation and .." said Bob

"I see you monkey people did a great job while we Dinos were napping." replied Grrr

Big Foot part 2

Big Foot...and  Grrr.
"Look BF, ask yourself why do humans want to trap you or take your picture?"...asked Grrr.
"I don't know said BF, but it is very annoying".
"Look buddy, people love you, you are a mystical creature..a wonder...Grrr said.
"You think so?, I never looked at it that way".replied BF.
"But look, Grrr, even if that is so, I still need my space"
"Sure you do and the way you get it is to give the people what they want, I have some pals in show business, I can set you up with them...if it works out, you make enough to buy your own forest and since people see you on TV, the mystery is gone and there is no reason to bug you anymore in your forest". 
"Grrr, asked a hopeful BF, you think so? It would be nice to have my own forest for the wife and kids".......
