The “Compassion” of Howard Gardner is Not Logical
Nobody Reads Email
Howard Gardner is the John H. and Elisabeth A. Hobbs Professor of Cognition and Education at the Harvard Graduate School of Education and Senior Director of Harvard Project Zero. In his book, Five Minds for the Future, he makes a case for all people to respect and honor each other:
“In the complex global terrain in which we now live, we should , whenever possible, give priority to respect for those with different backgrounds and beliefs–and hope that they will return the favor.”
It’s the liberal philosophy that permeates all the elite colleges. Right now, we are watching the leaders in Europe work out a deal with Iran, that they “hope” will work. Even after the mistake of giving North Korea Plutonian for ‘peaceful” development. (thanks Bill Clinton), John Kerry is just so excited.
The lone voice of reason is Netanyahu.
I guess Howard Gardner from Harvard, never got this email…like I did. According to those that live among the radical Muslims, there is little hope they will return the favor. Nobody hopes, some Muslims move next door to the professor, so he can find out how far his “hope” takes him.

“I’m 72 and I’m Tired”
I’m tired of being told that Islam is a “Religion of Peace,” when every day I can read dozens of stories of Muslim men killing their sisters, wives and daughters for their family “honor”; of Muslims rioting over some slight offense; of Muslims murdering Christian and Jews because they aren’t “believers”; of Muslims burning schools for girls; of Muslims stoning teenage rape victims to death for “adultery”; of Muslims mutilating the genitals of little girls; all in the name of Allah, because the Qur’an and Shari’a law tells them to.
I’m tired of being told that out of “tolerance for other cultures” we must let Saudi Arabia and other Arab countries use our oil money to fund mosques and madrassa Islamic schools to preach hate in Australia, New Zealand, UK, America and Canada, while no one from these countries are allowed to fund a church, synagogue or religious school in Saudi Arabia or any other Arab country to teach love and tolerance..
I’m tired of hearing wealthy athletes, entertainers and politicians of all parties talking about innocent mistakes, stupid mistakes or youthful mistakes, when we all know they think their only mistake was getting caught. I’m tired of people with a sense of entitlement, rich or poor.
I’m also tired and fed up with seeing young men and women in their teens and early 20’s be-deck themselves in tattoos and face studs, thereby making themselves unemployable and claiming money from the Government.
And I’m sick and tired of seeing young kids walking down the streets looking like idiots with their underwear showing.
Yes, I’m tired. But I’m also glad to be 72 because I’m not going to have to see the world these people are making.
Nobody Notes—If you can figure out what the heck Project Zero is, you are a genius. To me, it looks like an excuse to pour gobs of money down meaningless holes in order to make a bunch of professors very rich.

About
I am a nobody. If the different classes of America were color-coded, I would be in the yucky brown, one rung up from the bottom. I grew up in Naples, Florida and live near the Mississippi River now with my husband and two dogs. I am part of the slowly disappearing middle-class. I was a musician most of my life: drummer/singer/keyboards—but I retired before the plastic surgery flu hit. I have no degrees, which could be a good thing…depending on how you view our educational system. I do have three patents…but that really doesn’t make me a somebody. The one thing that is constant in my life is my OPINIONS, which i have more than perhaps even Carl Sagan could have imagined…mostly political. (yes…my ancestors were crabby buggers)
Hopefully other nobody’s will put their opinions on my site. But, if you happen to be a somebody, you’re more than welcomed to help out.
It’s my Nobody Opinion that Nobody’s Perfect, and Nobody Cares, that Nobody Knows why Nobody Wins, and when that happens, Nobody Wonders, why Nobody Flashes, why Nobody’s Fooled, but then Nobody remembers that Nobody ALWAYS Reports the truth.

I believe there are two worlds in the making: one out of fantasy, and another one very real. In the first we could include most part of humanity, while the real is formed by people that thinks the best argument against democracy is a five-minute conversation with the average voter; and by all the animals, the plants, the minerals, even other kinds of men, that are being broken and reassembled every day, to preserve an elite few, who are the loudest to theorize on freedom, but the least free of all. The real truth of the matter is, as you and I know, that a financial element in the larger centers has owned the governments ever since the days of Andrew Jackson. And the real truth of the matter is, as you and I know, the elite will inherit the world, while the rest just bark the wrong trees.

Respecting others is a ‘demand-led’ issue. Others have to earn our respect. Respecting the ‘being’ of others is a gainsaid. Differentiating between the person and what the person does is an essential skill, not helped at all by the lefty-feminist mantras of ‘don’t judge’ and ‘anti-discrimination’. By robbing people of these vital human skills we are left with the sort of meaningless nonsenses spewed out by such ‘programs’ as Project Zero, which appears on the surface to attend to reasonable matters but whose ‘output’ seems to be acronyms by the bucket-load. Money in: garbage out. It’s what happens when the Fed prints so much of it.
