It follows the author’s previous success, explains that the book gathers heard, said, thought, and read material, and invites disagreement alongside moments of clarity and humor. The opening also sets a tone contrasting honor, duty, and responsibility with modern self-pity and legalistic excuses, emphasizing reality checks and

it,the book's finished'.I didn'tdream there would be another,because I didn't dreamthe Book Of Ireverent Logic would enjoy the success itdid.  \nSo here we go again,and once again I've filled thepages of this book with things I've heard,things I'vesaid,things I've thought,things I've read.Hopefully,there's a bigger challenge in this book,insofar as mythoughts on many subjects will require you,thereader,to think about what I've written.  \nIt's likely you may not agree with my attitude buthopefully every now and again you'll receive a blind-ing flash of the obvious,a dose of reality.Once again Ihope you'll frown a little,smile a little,and maybeeven laugh out loud,at some of the things I've said,and once again I need to thank,not only the peoplewho tune into my radio program across Australia,butthose who made the Book Of Irreverent Logic the bestselling book it was last year.  \nhere is no such thing as a dead-endjob,it's just a necessary beginning.  \nhy have honour,self-reliance,dutyand responsibility been replaced by self-pitying,welfare-minded,whingeing,litigating victims.Quick on the law and slow on the law-abiding.Wallowing in excuses.  \nJOHN LAWS'BOOK OF UNCOMMON SENSE  \nfyou're not aware of your ownstupidity,you'llhave no idea how to handleyour own knowledge.","cbCail2EIAfAWdks","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCail2EIAfAWdks","pdf",5695052,308,"English","# Introduction\n## Author framing and reader challenge\n## Humor, disagreement, and reality
