What's important is the Professors's feel compelled to check for plagiarism. So much for the Safe Spot Sanctuaries validity as a public institution.

And in doing so left themselves wide open to similar charges and once again proving they are too stupid to know when to shut up. Why pick a scab and re-open a wound. Swift Boat Veterans proved that but the left insists on slitting it's guts open every time. What a bunch of dumb asses.

Sometimes? You are being kind tonight.

Michelle's original speech had something to do with trying out her new airplane for a trip to Paris - for dinner. I do not recall anything of substantive value that followed.

Reading that speech, had I listened to begin with I doubted she had written a single word. Of course that was with the sure and certain knowledge that important people don't have to do such mundane unimportant work as truthful conversation with the people they hope will elect them.

I wonder how many of these could write a speech as short and as meaningful as that beginning with "Four score and seven ....'

Count them on the fingers of one hand? Why do I not feel defrauded? Because no one expects much from Genus Politicas these days. It also explains why I don't listen to debates or conventions. If they can articulate verbally they cannot speak truthfully. Normally the two reside in the 'can't' column.

It's a common practice and relatively easy to get away with. Anything that is older than the copyright laws allow your safe. They are something like patents in that respect. Words I beleive have to be more exact especially in the public arena where they were meant to be listened to, thought about, and hopefully adopted. This particular case follow at least degrees of that. Was it exactly word for word? No and no one with any brains at all would have knowingly cribbed something wihich in effect shows admiration for thiier mental ability in this case. Did someone slide an unattributed piece of work in to the pile of suggestions? I would believe that

A full blown case of intentional plagiarism of thoughts and ideas for profit does exist in this country in the writings of George Lakoff whose 'system; may be attributed directly to the philosopher Plato and many of his linear descendants and he claims in doing original thinking and makes a profit at doing so. That was my evaluation of his writings which are also sophomoric to my thinking and evaluations. Yet he no one has stood up for the original authors and thinkers and filed a counter claim. In my personal estimation he is a a fraud and he is at the level of a secular 700 club.

I rather thought the left was a bit wiser than using this as some sort of point scoring device considering their own background but then that applies to so many many talking poiints,. Economics, morality, treatment of the military, women's movement, equal opportunity, civil rights, various 'isms, The are so used to getting away with it they don't think of fact checking and finding out as others did the name of Eleanor Roosevelt was involved.
