Whoop de doo. All bow to Rob's superior knowledge, for he has a degree and is therefore obviously better than us mere non-degree having mortals. He makes us all feel awed by his sheer greatness.

-------------------- Yes, you're despicable, and... and picable... and... and you're definitely, definitely despicable. How a person can get so despicable in one lifetime is beyond me. It isn't as though I haven't met a lot of people. Goodness knows it isn't that. It isn't just that... it isn't... it's... it's despicable.

That first "you" should be "your". The first sentence of your second paragraph is a run-on. Your third paragraph has a misplaced comma, two missing hyphens, and another (parenthetical) run-on.

Now, of course, I will point out that my degree was in English/Creative Writing, and that we authors are permitted to mangle the language at will, while the ordinary peon is not (See: Finnegan's Wake).
This, of course, is pure crapola, but it sounds good.

The most intersting aspect of the American version of democracy in recent times as I see it is not the bugaboo of socialism, rather it is the failure of the WASP hegemony and the inclusion of diverse voices in the national debate.
What's the phrase? The center does not hold. Is there a center in American culture?
