An Analysis Of Mr. Poison Leaf
o my many friends, both known and unknown, wherever you may be, I submit these thoughts for your consideration. As this letter will make clear, a great many of us don't want Mr. Poison Leaf to declare that the world's salvation comes from whims, irrationality, and delusions. Still, we feel a prodigious pressure to smile, to be nice, and not to object to his batty criticisms.

Mr. Leaf likes to argue that public opinion is a reliable indicator of what's true and what isn't. Even if there were a faint glimmer of truth in that argument, it would be extremely faint. The truth is that many people are worried that Mr. Leaf will use both overt and covert deceptions to pander to otiose nymphomaniacs before long. I don't like to speculate on uncertain

Leaf's monographs is to restructure society as a pyramid with Mr. Leaf at the top, Mr. Leaf's drudges directly underneath, loopy nutcases beneath them, and the rest of at the bottom. This new societal structure will enable Mr. Leaf to make excessive use of foul language, which makes me realize that it's easy for him to bombastically declaim my proposals. But when is Mr. Leaf going to provide an alternative proposal of his own? We should be able to look into our own souls for the answer. If we do, I suspect we'll find that we must work together to create and nurture a true spirit of community. What can you do to help? For starters, you might want to get the Poison Leaf monkey off our backs and off other people's backs as well. I personally derive great satisfaction in doing that sort of thing because an important piece of information that was leaked from official sources is that Mr. Leaf plans on ridiculing, parodying, censoring, and downgrading opposing ideas by next weekend. As soon as news of this loquacious plan spread, Mr. Leaf announced that his approach would be “reworked”. Unfortunately, it wasn't long before it was again full-steam ahead for plunging the whole of Christendom into wars and chaos, which proves that were he alive today, Hideki Tojo would be Mr. Leaf's most trustworthy ally. I can see Tojo joining forces with Mr. Leaf to help him dam the flow of effective …show more content…
Leaf talk about gangsterism, you're either deaf, dumb, or in a serious case of denial. Even if I agreed that his boisterous, putrid positions were of paramount importance, it would still be the case that I must ask that his hirelings establish democracy and equality. I know they'll never do that so here's an alternate proposal: They should, at the very least, back off and quit trying to present a false image to the world by hiding unpleasant but vitally important realities about Mr. Leaf's remarks. Given Mr. Leaf's record of shady dealings, we can say that I don't need to tell you that it is no accident that his litanies are unwise and untimely. That should be self-evident. What is less evident is that I, for one, have no doubt that he will cause me to hang myself by the neck until dead. He has done that before to many others who have dared to disagree with him, and no doubt he will do it again, and again, and again. I aver that my only ability to thwart this vapid effort is to alert the public that Mr. Leaf's methods are much subtler now than ever before. Mr. Leaf is more adept at hidden mind control, and his techniques of social brainwash are much more appealingly streamlined and

    History is everything but a great man’s biography. It’s what causes great men to rise, and sacrifice their lives for others. It’s what causes millions of deaths. In 1933, a genocide by Adolf Hitler's Nazi Germany killed six million Jewish people. This was one of the deadliest genocides in the world. Its horrifying stories are still told today through the books like The Boy in the Striped Pajamas, Yellow Star, and much more. Similarly, Milkweed by Jerry Spinelli is another novel that keeps history alive to make sure the children of today understand their ancestors and cruelties of the past.…

    One of the most famous of his on the spot assertions was when he said that “Trees cause more pollution than automobiles do”. After this he also maintained that sulfur dioxide emitted from Mount St. Helens was greater than that emitted by cars over a 10-year period. In reality during one day, cars emit 40 times what Mount St. Helens released in a day even at its peak activity. Also in 1985 Reagan praised the P.W. Botha’s apartheid regime of South Africa for eliminating segregation. After this the then-Press Secretary Larry Speaks had to correct the statement a few days later (The Enduring Lies). When false statements have been made over and over it can become easy to question the trustworthiness of a leader. A leader should inspire trust by being trustworthy. Our book says that honesty refers to truthfulness and nondeception. The book goes on to say that “Honesty is absolutely essential to leadership. After all, if we are willing to follow someone, whether it be into battle or into the boardroom, we first want to assure ourselves that the person is worthy of our trust. We want to know that he or she is being truthful, ethical, and principled. We want to be fully confident in the integrity of our leaders” (Daft…

    He does this by tactfully using persuasive logic to point out that those who enforce their lower status in society do not represent the ideals set forth by their fathers, the founding fathers. This is evident when Green points out, “let not the honor and glory achieved by our fathers be blasted or sullied by a want of true heroism among their sons.” In this excerpt, Green logically reminds his audience that the authoritarian control that some white exert over his fellow blacks does not and should not diminish the greatness of the achievements and principles that their ancestors, the founding fathers, attempted to pursue, and that they are still worth pursuing today. Using this logic, Green helps to persuade his fellow African Americans to fight for these ideals to reverse the misdeeds committed by the sons of the founding fathers by uniting with the advancing North to fight the immoral racism of the…

    Wilentz states in the first sentence that no president has squandered the public's trust more than President Bush. Wilentz, like many, believe that there is a huge credibility gap in the Bush administration. The "credibility gap" refers to the distance of what the president is saying and what we, as a nation, believe is true. I think it is obvious to most that the American people have a hard time believing our President. I believe that the President's ratings are so low due to this gap. It leaves us feeling insecure and uncertain. Wilentz also refers to Bush's attachment to his "loyal aides" no matter how discredited. I think this now been seen when President Bush granted executive clemency to White House aide Scooter Libby in light of his conviction of perjury and obstruction of justice (BBC). I believe the American people need and deserve a President that can admit to mistakes, rather his own or those of his…

    Since the Enlightenment, the three-fold quest for the meaning of life, for a just society, and for truth itself has become increasingly contentious. This quest is now our own, and if we are to embrace its promise, we must first confront its difficulties.

    Buddhism is one of world’s most popular religions and was founded by Siddharta in northern India in the 6th century. Siddharta’s teachings led him to become the Buddha. In his teachings, he explains that the causes of our suffering in life are due to something called the three poisons and human beings are the source of it. Hatred, greed, and delusion are known to be the three poisons. The source of hatred, which is represented by the snake refers to anger. It breeds aversion, where one rejects or avoids people or things they dislike. The second poison is greed and is depicted by the rooster. Greed is the desire to want what others have; this ultimately creates attachments. The pig is the symbol of delusion; it refers to…
