The writers who weren't offered money wrote better than the ones who were. Heh...I probably shouldn't be writing so early in the morning.

A long time ago (20 years or more?) I read a study where writers who wrote for money wrote worse than writers who wrote for creativity. IIRC, the study gave the same writing prompt to many writing students. 1/2 were told they'd be paid if good enough, 1/2 weren't. $$ resulted in worse quality.

He did run for office, against Hindenburg. He just didn't win. And while the Nazi party didn't win a majority, they did become the largest political party. Germany's parliamentary system meant more than 2 main parties, so 37% was extremely significant.

It's a joke, but the humor is in how we can easily imagine it is real.

Of course Spiro says something like that. Republican party offers as many lies as possible so followers will stop considering logic or scrutiny as normal responses. Say it enough, and it must be true, right? Reread "1984" by George Orwell! www.smithsonianmag.com/history/what...

Now 75 years old, the dystopian novel still rings alarm bells about totalitarian rule

Here's a thought. Particularly the idea that this person is behaving in a way that suggests he is a threat to himself or others. Of course, if nobody gets this done before the election, I suspect his VP will make sure it happens after--if the unthinkable happens and he is elected president.
