But I just had this gut feeling inside that tells me to do this ASAP or else it may be too late for people to know my idea and, as a Ron Paul supporter, to know who he is and that he is still a 2008 presidential bet.
Mathematically Ron Paul cannot win. But you made some interesting parallels~.
You have a point there, but the main reason I used Wikipedia was because I needed a background information about the two characters involved. The quotes, which were the main content of the essay, were not from Wikipedia. Also, from what I see, the information that I took from Wikipedia were referenced with other websites. Still, I understand that it was unwise of me to use it as a source. I guess this was because I didn't intend it to be a scholarly article or somewhat, but more of a thought-provoking essay.
I understand your concern regarding my decision to post this immediately without much research. I really do. But I just had this gut feeling inside that tells me to do this ASAP or else it may be too late for people to know my idea and, as a Ron Paul supporter, to know who he is and that he is still a 2008 presidential bet. I was also taking into consideration the upcoming April 22 Pennsylvania primaries, and hope that this can, in anyway possible, allow people to consider him also in the primaries.
Still, I thank you for your constructive criticism and I hope this can help me improve in my future writeups.
This is a very interesting idea, however I have to say something. Wikipedia is not accepted in any university as a reference source. If you're going to take the time to write such a thought provoking essay, take the time to do the proper research and find creditable sites to reference.
Really thought provoking. Ron Paul and Kenshin more similar than we thihnk eh? Those are some really good, well referenced claims. My hat's off to you.
