    The Constitution is really just a bunch of words ...

    written on some velum a long time ago when words meant something
    such as 'the pen is mightier than the Sword'. But that was then, this
    is now and this now is a bunch of pseudo socialists about to run the
    country unopposed. We've already had proof of their distaste for the
    document that limits their power, so now that they have total control
    what's to stop them making further attacks. A better question might
    be - Who's going to stop them ? I'm afraid the grandiose idea of the
    populace facing the politicians with pitchforks is pie in the sky and
    isn't going to happen. We've become a nation of sheep and we've
    got new Shepherds as masters. With the advent of "Big Tech" we're
    witnessing the demise of the first Amendment, the Second is in their
    crosshairs and the Fourth is already dead. Whatever gets in their way
    they get rid off just as they did with Trump and the remnants of the
    Republican party. Well, it's just a thought. Have a happy new year anyway.

    The basic paragraph consists of three parts: a topic sentence, supporting details, and a concluding sentence. This basic paragraph format will help you to write and organize one paragraph and transition to the next.

      You must have been an English teacher. Perhaps you can take his paragraph and re-write it like it should be.

        Subsequent paragraphs are indented.
        If there are no indents then there it's just one paragraph.

          There is an old saying, "Those who can, do. Those who can't do, teach. Those who can't teach become critics."

            I'm still trying to figure out how dogtag gets it in a nice little box shape
            paragraph or not,, that is kinda impressive

            BTW I am fluent in English, bad English, Hillbilly and some Jive,

            but I can type fast,, just not always correctly, as far as formats etc,,

              I do it that way in order to make it easy to read.
              I find threads/posts that go completely across the screen so hard to follow
              that I don't bother reading them.

                  Now we know who is one that will be in charge of the re-education camps that the NSD want to operate in the American Democracy.
