Well crafted words and their use can help create an idea that can take lessor men a dozen words...or in the case of this page sentences to convey. <br /><br />I'm hardly an intellectual or have any writing skillz, but even I know that it's just insecurity if you feel people who speak smart (and say great things) are a problem for the blue collar masses!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1203082776419426855.post-87678953084757702852012-08-30T12:04:16.952-07:002012-08-30T12:04:16.952-07:00sam harris is a narcisist with a strange passion f...sam harris is a narcisist with a strange passion for mysticism...

And why use a hundred $50 words, when 10 well-chosen ones will do? (Or why say, "after dilution, homeopathy doesn't contain a single molecule of the original substance" when you can merely say "It's water"? Which is more likely to sway the most people?)<br /><br />We don't need snootiness in America.

How refreshing to find another secure atheist who doesn't get his panties in a twist about every mention of "God".<BR/><BR/>I too was raised an atheist. Have you read Thomas Paine's "The Age of Reason"? *Hilarious* book. Worth a look.jlibsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12347322810283712333noreply@blogger.com
