Pointworthy

I propose a new neologism (a neoneologism?) be placed in the dictionary: 'pointworthy.' It means exactly what it sounds like, and if anyone needs further clarification, we can include the following election day email from a student as an example.


Anonymous Student: "When you vote today look at who will be the right one. Obama is going to raise taxes because in 1995 Obama was part of a group that raised taxes really high like they are now. He is going to pull out the people out of the war but if we do that then the people can come back together and kill a lot of people here in the U.S. If you look at McCain then you can see that he has some things alike Bush but he actually voted against the stuff that everyone else voted for when he was a senate. Also McCain isnt going to raise the taxes he will lower them. This is the facts people choose wisely."


I'm still a little unclear on the whole returning-American-soldiers-killing-American-citizens thing. But he does have some interesting points.

This student has an interesting point: You really actually want the Democrat and McCain only pretends to be Republican, but he voted against Republican but watch out for Obama, he's a Republican in disguise. Only taxes--there's still that. :o) Cute.

Actually, given the propensity of servicemembers to engage in domestic violence and your occasional Tim McVeigh, it is probably true that it's safer to keep all our Army and Marine guys deployed to foreign countries.
