There's a problem with that line of thought. Frankly, it's too much work trying to hack through the "noise" to arrive at the point you're trying to make. If you don't have enough respect for your ideas or the people to which you're expressing them to state your ideas in something at least somewhat akin to english, why should we bother? I'm not suggesting that you have to be perfect, goodness knows I make my share of spelling and grammatical errors, but you can't let the number of errors drown out your message.
I think they are building this on the wrong campus.

"Regarding BGSU, I would think their biggest strength is that they never give up, They never slow down and they battle hard even after the other team scores. We have to be on our game and never, ever take the foot off the gas for a second."

"BG was relentless. It's like they know that a good first pass on the breakout from a defenseman will almost always result in an odd-man rush against them - but they go in anyway and dare you to make that pass. All three of their goals were just grit and effort. That's a team any fan can be proud to support...they give all they've got."

No, I was pretty much asking for it on that one. Plus, I've always found the superhero/underwear thing to be pretty humorous (and creepy at the same time).Falcon Fanatic wrote:

If it makes you feel any better, I am wearing underwear right now. I don't know how the heck that happened...

It is not my intention to do away with government. It is rather to make it work - work with us, not over us; stand by our side, not ride on our back. Government can and must provide opportunity, not smother it; foster productivity, not stifle it. ~Ronald Reagan
