I have no other place for this short rant, so…

Anyone ever notice how we’re encouraged to use excess verbiage from middleschool to college via page requirements; yet saying what you want to say in the least amount of words possible is one of the most important aspects of clear writing? My writing is always seen as “wordy” by my professors, so I’m conveniantly blaming this on the public schooling system. Gosh I love being a libertarian.

Exactly! Words limit always drives me crazy. I can’t say that my writing is labeled as “wordy” because I do everything possible to shorten a paper. Unfortunately, I can’t say the same about my speech… I wish I could express my thoughts more concise.

Ron Paul proposes a Cinnamon Standard:

When asked about his gold-standard proposals Paul responded, “Gold is a thing of the past. It’s a good idea, but too impractical. What, are you seriously going to carry a brick of gold in your pocket everytime you want to buy something? That’s insane. Cinammon sticks fit much easier into a wallet or purse, and they taste great.”
