Can this be true?- Oh wait that's a "t"Last year, the Federal Reserve allowed Bank of America to move a huge portfolio of dangerous bets into a side of the company that happens to be FDIC-insured, putting all of us on the hook for as much as $55 trillion in irresponsible gambles.
- Education don't helpAnd here’s the mind-blowing surprise: For Republicans, having a college degree didn’t appear to make one any more open to what scientists have to say. On the contrary, better-educated Republicans were more skeptical of modern climate science than their less educated brethren. Only 19 percent of college-educated Republicans agreed that the planet is warming d […]

Hi Tim,
I enjoyed the paper very much. Thank you.
As a side note, while I certainly can be mistaken, from my perspective there did appear to be an inferential error in the argument map on page 7. It seems to me that the premise “The plaintiff was allowed to cross the road unassisted.” should be support for “The defendant breached his duty of care to plaintiff.” You can see a suggested revision (with other changes as well) at http://inferencepath.edublogs.org/2007/07/29/are-conditionals-really-inferentially-linked-premises/
It’s just a thought.
Joseph
Hi Tim,
I posted my reply to your comment at my blog regarding my comment above, at http://inferencepath.edublogs.org/2007/08/03/designing-an-argument-map-visual-language-for-litigation/ since it contains argument maps.
Best regards,
Joseph
