"To get the right word in the right place is a rare achievement. To condense the diffused light of a page of thought into the luminous flash of a single sentence, is worthy to rank as a prize composition just by itself...Anybody can have ideas - the difficulty is to express them without squandering a quire of paper on an idea that ought to be reduced to one glittering paragraph.."
- Mark Twain
That just about sums up your ramblings.
no. The point of the paper is the to thorough. Very thorough. If you read my other "ramblings" you would have discovered the same thing (like my "On Marriage")
The thesis, or main point, is indeed stated in the first paragraph...getting people to view money as a progenitor, an arbiter of accountability.
However...that doesn't really defend anything does it? That doesn't assuage everyone's possible concerns. That doesn't relate it to anything else in reality worth relating it to.
Mark Twain wrote children's novels for entertainment. I don't think his quote applies here.
