Comments on: Pithy Poetry, Honed Haikus & Laconic Limericks http://bejohngalt.com/2009/05/pithy-poetry-honed-haikus-laconic-limericks/ “He was guilty of nothing, except that he earned his own fortune and never forgot that it was his.“ The concept contained within that phrase is what has set America apart, and made her the greatest nation on Earth. And it is the systematic attack on that concept, that this website is dedicated to fighting. This website is NOT devoted to making people “wealthy”, but rather to fighting the notion that the “wealth” they DO have needs to be “redistributed”.

I thought chris Weir's "day by day" spoof of Gore with "Ozymandias" was BRILLIANT. and the haikus are absolutely hilarious, because they are supposed to bring peace and serenity, with tranquil images of nature, but we substitute the chaos and hubris of socialist central planners to mock the original intention of the form.

I believe humor and sarcasm to be the most effective debating and argument tactics. People are more likely to remember what you say.
