CALL IT RESEARCH! | 2006-03-17

I stole LibAnon's comment whole and made it part of Bob's Blog. But that is not plaguerism.

I shamelesly steal commenters' statements from time to time and make them part of Bob's Blog.

And I think you all know the old rule:

"If you steal ONE person's writings, it's called plaguery. If you steal SEVERAL people's words, it's called research."

Plagerism's okay if you're black, isn't it?

As an afterthought, I wasn't calling anyone on this blog black. I was just thinking out loud, about plagerism, and Alex Haley and Martin Lucifer King came to mind.

Oooops! Did I say "Lucifer"? I meant Luther. Lordeee! My whiteness is certainly showing through today, goddess have mercy.
