What did they say something about a million monkeys, with a million type-writers?  No masterpieces here, but it's all interesting enough.

Things I've written:

Note:  Many of these papers, write-ups, etc are now outdated and I no longer necessarily completely agree with the ideas stated in them.  Works cited are often omitted. All papers are in MSWord format.

Freshman year:

(IHUM) - For better or worse, I can't seem to find my old IHUM papers :P

(The Constitution and Race) - Class taught by Jack Rakove, I'm still trying to track down electronic copies of my papers b/c they were really good. 

(PWR) - I have several of the papers I wrote in the intro writing class @ Stanford.  The theme of the class was "The Rhetoric of War". 

- Blowing Cybersmoke : my research paper on Washington's overblown rhetoric of cyberterrorism.  This is what started it all.
