My favorite part was the works-cited page! I like Thomas Jefferson! If Thomas Jefferson and Ben Franklin had it out, who would win? I think Thomas Jefferson and Ben Franklin are both corpses. And when I patent that idea, and it occurs to someone else, I will steal their wallet with an ingenious system of pullies and cranes. But seriously, who would win Ghandi or Stephen Hawking in an all-out brawl? E-mail me and I'll argue with you! (Lord Bait is not associated with or in any way sexually attracted to Kit. Period.)

Well, really good paper overall. The only thing is that you don't do is express your opinion/solution/etc on the subject, keeping a neutral prospective throught the paper (which is a good thing on an assigned essay ;-))
Anyway, really good work! Good luck on the HSAs... wait, they are over for you, right?
