12×18 colored pencil done on “Artagain” paper. The original is sold. Photographic reference from L. Weitzman. For those of you who don’t know what this cat is, it’s a King Cheetah.. born in a preserve in Africa. I’m lucky enough to know the person who took the picture. She had the opportunity to not only photograph the cat, but to touch him too… the act of which has left an indelible mark on her soul. / At one point, there were three King cheetahs in zoos in the US. One in Cincinnati, St. Louis and San Diego.. regrettably there is only one left… I believe that it’s the one in St. Louis, but I’m not sure right now. The King Cheetah (also known as Cooper’s), once thought to be a separate sub-species, is an African Cheetah exhibiting a rare fur pattern mutation. A recessive gene must be inherited from both parents in order for this “blotchy” pattern to appear. First discovered in Zimbabwe in 1926, this very rare animal has been seen in the wild only 6 times. It has been known to exist in Zimbabwe, Botswana and in the northern part of South Africa’s Transvaal province. The DeWildt Cheetah Research Centre in South Africa specializes in breeding this cat in captivity. (information from cheetahspot.com)

Screech-owl Screech-owls are restricted to the Americas. Some species formerly placed with them are nowadays considered more distinct. Screech-owls hunt from perches in semi-open landscapes. They prefer areas which contain old trees with hollows; these are home to their prey which includes insects, reptiles, small mammals such as bats and mice and other small birds. Screech-owls have a good sense of hearing which helps them locate their prey in any habitat. They also possess well-developed raptorial claws and a curved bill, both of which are used for tearing their prey into pieces small enough to swallow easily. They usually carry their prey back to their nests, presumably to guard against the chance of losing their meal to a larger raptor.

I met a nice young couple and their children, who live on a very large farm, located in West Chester, Pennsylvania. Five generations have lived here, which makes it a special place! They told me that on cloudy, rainy and/or foggy mornings that a Bald Eagle sits in a big old dead tree. As much as I love birds, I had yet to see a Bald Eagle in the wild, other than a juvenile, while kayaking in Pennsylvania some time ago. I lucked out! Sure enough, it was cloudy and as I drove up the long drive, I spotted a big black bird in the faraway tree. Tip toeing and acting sort of nonchalant, I slowly closed in on the Eagle. I was ecstatic! Here, for the very first time in my life, I was capturing the United States symbol in my zoom lens. She sat for a while and then flew off in a large circle and then came back for a touchdown. Once again, she flew off. Each time, I had my camera on him and was speed shooting, trying very hard not to let her out of my sight. Once so plentiful Bald Eagles were designated America’s national symbol in 1782. However, Bald Eagles had become indirect victims of an insect-killing chemical that made their eggs so brittle, that they broke when females sat on them. Unable to successfully hatch a brood, Eagle populations nationwide slowly declined and ultimately disappeared from many areas. Bald Eagles were very close to distinction in Pennsylvania. In 1983, there were only three known nests. Since then, they have made an incredible comeback. In June, 2007, there were 132 known nests and 150 Eaglets. The state’s largest concentrations of Eagle nests are along the lower Susquehanna River, the upper Delaware River basin and the wetland-dominated Pymatuning region in northwestern Pennsylvania. Bald Eagles prefer to nest near water. More and more are migrating from Maryland’s Chesapeake Bay. What a day it was sighting this beautiful bird with my lens. It was a first for me and wow, she was majestic indeed!! This photograph was shot with a Canon 40D and a 300mm lens in West Chester, Pennsylvania.

Innuendo & Distinction

Internet forums are rife with logical fallacy. It can be frustrating to engage in debate with a person who asserts one logical fallacy after another. You can fall prey to debating the fallacy rather than the issue unless you are familiar with some of the more common errors in logic. I have addressed only a few common fallacies. Argument from innuendo is a statement that directs the reader/listener to a (derogatory) conclusion, but does not explicitly make that (derogatory) assertion. Examples (1) His wife works late a lot these days. I wonder if her handsome boss works late too? / conclusion – she is sleeping with her boss (2) She writes such sad poetry. I wonder what her home life is like? / conclusion – she has an unhappy home life (3) You know, he was questioned by the FBI about that bank robbery. / conclusion – he must be a suspect When a person makes an implicit assertion, it is their intent to draw you to a specific conclusion. The person making the implicit assertion should be required to justify their unspoken statement as if they had stated the conclusion explicitly. Invariably the person making the argument by innuendo will deny that they intended the obvious conclusion. If the speaker/writer refuses to defend their implicit assertion, insist that they explicitly deny the implicit assertion. A distinction without a difference is the attempt to advance a point of view as distinct from another view. In reality, the two views are not at all different in substance. It is a manipulation of language, and a fallacy. Examples We must judge the writer by what the article actually says and not by what someone tells us it says. No writing can interpret itself. All readers are interpreters. Therefore, there is no intelligible distinction to be drawn between what the article says and the interpretation of the article. I’m not saying anything against interracial marriage, but I firmly believe that people of different races should not marry Let’s break this one down to it’s component assertions. PREMISE: I believe people of different races should not marry. / IMPLICIT PREMISE: Since there is no contradiction between miscegenation and the view that interracial marriage is acceptable. . . / CONCLUSION: Therefore I have no serious disagreement interracial marriage. The PREMISE and the CONCLUSION are contradictory. The arguer against interracial marriage asserts no contradiction in their statement by the IMPLICIT PREMISE. Do you think the following statements are distinctions without a difference? (1) I’m not saying anything bad about you, but I think your ideas are stupid. / (2) I’m not against equality for women, I just think women have traditional roles in society. / (3) I’m not saying that art and politics don’t mix, but I think politics does not belong on a commercial art site. / (4) I’m not saying that there is anything wrong with nude photography, I just happen to believe that women should not expose their bodies publicly. Attacking the straw man occurs frequently when the debate becomes heated. This fallacy consists of misrepresentation of the opponents position. Example Maria: There is no legal, moral, or ethical reason why women should be paid less than men for the same work. Yet, women are, on average, paid 20% less than men in our society. I think Congress should enact legislation that requires employers to pay equal wages for equal work. Joe: If you want big government in every aspect of our lives then that is your problem. I think you just want special treatment because you are a woman. That makes you a sexist! Joe has distorted Maria’s argument and drawn an unsupported inference. Joe asserts that Maria supports “big government” that will invade “every aspect” of an individual’s life. This inference is not supported by Maria’s statement. Also, Joe infers that Maria wants “special treatment” because she is a woman and therefore she is a “sexist.” All of these inferences are an oversimplification of the original argument to the point it is not even recognizable in his reply. The only way rational to respond to this fallacy is to restate your argument and ask if the responder has misunderstood. If the responder has intentionally misrepresented your argument, there is little else you can do but continue to assert your argument. Debate on your own terms, and never fall into the trap of defending the misrepresentation of your argument. It would be error to respond to Joe in the above example by asserting “I am NOT a sexist” or “I am not for big government.” You will have taken the bait of misrepresentation of your own argument and end up defending against the distortion of your own view rather than debating the issue. Guilt by association is often used as an attempt to discredit your source. It is a manipulation of the flow of the debate by shifting focus from the lack of support for their position to a negative impression of the character of the source you cite or the person whose views you support. Examples You know, his partner was convicted of perjury. / inference – he is a liar because his associate is a liar His political science professor in college is a Communist, how can we trust him to be a not to turn our country into a Communist state? / inference – his professor is a Communist therefore he must be a Communist too This fallacy is glaring in its illogical nature, however it is frequently used as an attempt to discredit the source. It is the old birds of a feather argument. How can you support Governor Sims views on drunk driving laws when he was arrested for drunk driving when he was in college? / inference – because he was once arrested for DUI, Governor Sims’ view must be disregarded If Governor Sims supports legislation providing for stricter penalties for drunk driving, would you not support such legislation because the Governor has a past DUI? That is not logical. The character of the person espousing a view is not relevant to the merit of the view itself. Try to keep the debate on the merits of the view, and away from the character of the person who holds the view.
