| RED BANK HUMANISTS IN RED BANK PARADE______________ |
The Red Bank Centennial Committee has organized a parade to
celebrate the occasion. We feel it would be a good idea to
participate in the event and let people know we are a popular
community organization. And we'll hand out promotional flyers
about our "Humanism 101" presentation and monthly Forums.
|
DO YOU HAVE A CONVERTIBLE WE CAN USE? WE WANT TO LOOK COOL IN THE PARADE.
PLEASE LET US KNOW. EMAIL PRESIDENT AT REDBANKHUMANISTS.ORG
IT WILL HELP SOME OF US WHO CANNOT WALK THE ENTIRE ROUTE. |
Some of our folks cannot walk the entire distance and may need to ride on "our float." The parade is scheduled to start at Globe Court at East Front Street, head over to and down Broad Street to Monmouth Street, and thence across town to Bridge Avenue. From there, it heads south to Drs. James Parker Boulevard, and then east to Pearl Street and into Count Basie Field, where a townwide picnic will be held.
The parade is scheduled for Saturday, May 17, 2008. Staging will be at 10 a.m. in the Municipal Parking lot on Mechanic Street and the parade will begin at 11am.
LET'S SHOW UP AND LET PEOPLE KNOW ABOUT US HUMANISTS!

| COMMON FALLACIES OF ARGUMENT_____________________ |
|
Some people
are just so full of
bull-oney logic.
Here's what may be happening: |
When arguing with someone in an attempt to get at an answer or an
explanation, you may come across a person who makes logical fallacies.
Such discussions may prove futile. You might try asking for evidence and
independent confirmation or provide another hypothesis that gives a better
or simpler explanation. If this fails, try to pinpoint the problem of your
arguer's position. You might spot the problem of logic that prevents further exploration and attempt to inform your arguer about his fallacy. The
following briefly describes some of the most common fallacies:
