Another FAIL for the Right (and not a few clippers here). It helps to:

1. Read articles,documents and reports, fully and completely.

2. Reading comprehension is necessary. Otherwise you are wasting everybody's time.

3. The Three Rs are useless if you don't know how to apply them.

4. Denying is not the same as truth telling. Learn the difference!
