  1. Abolish the FCC on FCC Commissioner Stumps For Media Diversity · · Score: 1, Insightful

    What part of "Congress shall pass no law . . . . abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press" is confusing? A radiowave is a property just as land. If you don't like what I say on my land/radiowave, stay off. Regulations are like cracks in a dam. Once you get one, more form exponentially.

  2. Re:Suggestions... on Teaching Engineers to Write? · · Score: 2, Interesting

    There are two books that have served me well. The Art of Nonfiction is the best. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0452282314/qid=11 47010363/sr=1-1/ref=sr_1_1/104-6558899-4510320?s=b ooks&v=glance&n=283155/

    Writing and Thinking is also an excellent book. It has a wonderful introduction to the chapter on spelling which you would never see in a modern text. Basically, it stresses the importance of spelling correctly, otherwise you look ignorant and you lose the reader's confidence that you know what you are talking about. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/1889439150/ref=no sim/104-6558899-4510320?n=283155/

    Remember: Say what you mean, and mean what you say.
