Do they get paid by the word? Is that why they use four hundred words where three will do? I mean, come on, I'm a writer by nature and by choice. But even I know that the higher your word count goes, the less likely people are to read what you write!
Ugh!
Philosophers are like theologians, I think. They are under the impression that if one is to convert a person, one must pile so many words on top of them that the person will agree with them just to escape.
Yes, I know that's uncharitable.
But you didn't have to do the homework for this class I NEVER SIGNED UP FOR in the first place! The only good thing about it was being able to watch Groundhog Day in week four! I wrote three papers about euthanasia because the other topic choices were animal rights, environmentalism, and the ethics of war. And seriously? I'm a Christian, and my perspective on every one of these topics is an unpopular one in liberal circles (this is why a liberal college was not my smartest move).
*sigh*
I needed a break to rant or something. I felt like I was going to explode!
