"Substitute 'damn' every time you're inclined to write 'very'; your editor will delete is and the writing will be just as it should be."

There are tools which will allow you to string a series of words together without thought or skill.
That doesn't make you a writer.

You don’t think this is a metaphor for the US right now?
He’s not going to leave.
If you believe that- look at him destroying the White House- the Peoples’ House, our combined vision of America. Our history.
