"Fiscal cliff": A linguistic complaint
3 comments:
You are welcome to post at this blog. You are asked, however, to refrain from the following:
1. Name-calling;
2. Questioning the motives or integrity of people you have never met just because you disagree with them;
3. Using obscenities or other expressions not appropriate or necessary to civilized discussion;
4. Taking disagreement personally;
5. Demeaning or insulting remarks.
The host will attempt to abide by the same rules and only asks that you not provide him with the temptation to do so in return by violating them.
Failure to comply with these rules can result (depending solely on the arbitrary and inscrutable will of the host) in the deletion of offending posts and suspension of posting privileges. Such measures are more likely if you post anonymously.
So tempting ....
ReplyDeleteWant to bet that Martin already has something written in case one of us were to post "f*sc*l cl*ff"?
ReplyDeleteThe real fiscal cliff will be when the U.S. can no longer pay its bills and no amount of Congressional wrangling can change it.
ReplyDeleteWhen that happens, all those wonderful entitlements won't do anyone any good.
Arithmetic always wins.
