I put it back because it is hard to believe that in the entire history of poetry that every single poem that ever went to print was one hundred percent grammatically correct. If that was actually the case, there would be no poetry. It would all be newspaper articles. Therefore, I have ruled on the aforementioned request and I therefore rule: I rule.

Is this poeme about Iraq, or if not exclusively about Iraq, do you think it applies to Iraq and to what is happening there?

"like an imprint of perfection burned inside my soul" don't like it. I think you can do better. I also don't like the closing lines. I think they can go. But that's just opinion.

Nice Bias, way to go you with eveness and balance. Now, do us all a favor, and add a few more points to your overall score by proof reading before you post. I didn't catch any spelling errors, but a crapload of inproper tense, and other bits that I had to decipher the lay of the text before they made sense. They really hurt this. <3 Jason -7-

Well they're going to kill me for revealing this but... Yes there is an 8th day. The thing is, its not a day with a night, and nice round even numbers. Haven't you ever noticed the extra hours that just seem to have slipped themselves between minutes. Those are the 8th day. <3 Jason

Suppose a couple of million, say, British were somehow instantaneously teleported to Iraq and all Iraqis somehow teleported to Britain, so that the Britons suddenly find themselves occupied by an insensitive blundering foreign superpower and the Iraqis find themselves serving cranberry scones at Starbucks (this part is actually true). Do you think the Britons would become suicide bombers? Do you think the Iraqis wouldn't?

"To those that would teach poetry" should be "To those who would teach poetry". But I guess that's the whole point.
Re: Apostrophetic Loss by Dovina	zodiac 212.118.11.13	11-Mar-05/10:05 PM
Colloquialisms usually don't use apostrophes - they're spoken. On the odd instance when they're written, they're written with apostrophes. I think you just mean another word. And what the hell are you talking about? The "renegade poet comedians" (except Jeremi) are the only ones writing correct grammar here. PS-Bow'ls is a real word and real usage. Bet you've got no rebuttal but "Your unsupported"! Whatever.

"But Woods' critics on the right belong to what might be called the conservative elite—neoconservatives and libertarians — whereas Hannity, Buchanan, and the radio talk-show hosts are, like their most fervid followers, essentially populist. Whatever jabs they may take at the liberal media or at academia, conservative elites, like their (elite) liberal adversaries (and here I'm generalizing), harbor an underlying respect for the values of higher education, science, reason, and expertise. Conservative populists, on the other hand, more often exhibit scorn for intellectual authority altogether. For a while now, conservative elites have made common cause, sometimes cynically, with populist anti-intellectuals. Once upon a time, the original neoconservatives — the academics and intellectuals around the journal the Public Interest — rested their critiques of liberalism on penetrating social science scholarship and attacked the left for preferring bleeding-heart sentiment to polemical rigor. But now the Public Interest is defunct, and in the Bush years, conservatism has embraced not only the familiar ridicule of the eggheads but a rejection of the very legitimacy of independent, nonpartisan expert authority. The wisdom of legal professionals, such as those in the American Bar Association, is now denied, and, since George Bush took office, no longer used by the White House in evaluating candidates for federal judgeships. Mainstream journalism, such as that in the major newspapers and network news shows, is deemed liberal, slanted, and unreliable. The faith-based belief in creationism, enjoying renewed support of late, is accorded equal (or greater) weight as the scientific theory of evolution." - www.slate.com/id/2114713/

Yesterday my Iraqi barber explained it to me this way: During Saddam's time, all cigarette lighters in Iraq cost 10 cents. If a merchant tried to sell a lighter for 11 cents, Saddam's police would come and kill him. That's protection. True story.

Please tell me you read my response before deleting it. Everybody else did, apparently, so what difference does it make. In fact, you can just select one of the following easy responses: A) I read your comment, found it cast my poem in a bad light, was afraid of it dragging down my voting, but didn't want to change the poem so it wasn't sexist. PS-I notice richa said the same thing. Do you believe me now?
