I decided today that the best way to write a term paper is to expand on an analogy from some cited text.  Not only does it give you lots and lots and lots of room for bullshit, it allows you to say some really incredible things.  For instance, I wrote about over-prescription of antibiotics for my philosophy term paper, and expanded a metaphor about how prescribing them for everything is like being a rancher and letting your cows overgraze a pasture.  I wrote that the difference is, when the pasture is overgrazed, the farmer can take his cows to the slaughterhouse and get paid lots of money for nice, fat, happy cows.  But when you overprescribe antibiotics to kids, you can't take them to the slaughterhouse afterwards.  Now I'm writing a paper for my Jesus class.  I just called him a naked sheep.  

We'll see how grades turn out.
