Gah!! Just got back from an English/critial thinking class. The first hour was nice. The guy is not demanding, he seems reasonable, and all of our essays and papers will be written on the media (which is a topic of interest for me).
The second hour was like Michael Moore 101.
He went down a list of falacious arguments and every example was either an attack on the Bush administration, consumors, or the free market. He also managed to insert his oppinion that Global Warming is probably true and that "Super Size Me" (imho an example of propaganda) is a good factual documentary *bangs head on desk* I'm going to dieeee....
Any pointers on surviving class discussions? I had a vocal liberal history teacher last sem, but this guy was more obnoxious in one hour than she was the entire semester :-|
