All good stuff so far.

So that I'm not stepping on anyone's feelings or anything, I meant to be humorous and pick on us all. (You should see the dense and boring stuff I'm reading on the philosophies of scientific progress for one of my other classes.) I wouldn't pick on the group in general if I didn't like it and the people. (I also hopped on the list to learn from the old fogies as I've affectionately labeled you!)

The red editing pen suggestion is very good.

Yes the entire thing is weak on research. I'm going to ask my professor how much research he wants. (for some reason he keeps stressing that this is not a research paper; does he really want nothing but opinion?)

If I get a green light for research, what are some great resources to do so that I may not have heard of?

Thanks all

-Sean
