We Played Out on This Movie Screen

Congratulations to Mr. Jacob Hamlin Roseberry for correctly naming "About Mr. Brown" and "City on Down" by O.A.R. as the last two songs of the day. I'm pretty sure that almost qualifies Jake for the next Harley giveaway, but we will have to see.

"What you do speaks so loud that I cannot hear what you say."--Ralph Waldo Emerson

What is it about the tone and bearing with which people communicate that has so much to do with how we receive their message? This morning in Ethics class I was struck by this thought as a member of the class who was making valid points during the debate lost some of their credibility and consequently caused their position to become less attractive simply because of how they communicated their ideas.

I realize that the true weight of the argument must still lie with the ideas themselves but the method in which those ideas and positions are conveyed has a much larger bearing than we might think on our decisions regarding those ideas.
