(And more free use of ALL CAPS.) It was just that I feared how persuasive it might be if I presented it in its full exclamatory glory. I couldn't risk exposing my sensitive readers to such vile but seductive propaganda.<BR/><BR/>I'll give them this, though: The ACU never descended to the use of multiple exclamation points at the end of a sentence.

The ACU presents a most convincing, if ultimately flawed, argument that quite frankly betters the best efforts of Socrates, Jefferson, Lincoln, and Kennedy. I count seven exclamation points. Most rhetoricians agree that five exclamation points is enough to convince most people of anything. <BR/><BR/>~PiDAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
