smiling faces,
Sen. Rand Paul said Sunday that accusations of plagiarism in his speeches makes him wish dueling were legal in Kentucky.“I take it as an insult, and I will not lie down and say people can call me dishonest, misleading or misrepresenting -- I have never intentionally done so and like I say, 'If dueling were legal in Kentucky, if they keep it up, you know it’d be a duel challenge,' " Paul said on ABC's "This Week."Media outlets including POLITICO, MSNBC and Buzzfeed have detailed instances in the Kentucky Republican's speeches where entire lines seemed to mimic verbatim other sources, including Wikipedia pages and stories from The Associated Press.Asked about the charges on Sunday, Paul acknowledged the "footnote police" had been out in full force.“I didn’t get into the secondary sources and say I quoted Einstein as according to an AP story or as according to Wikipedia," Paul said. "I think the spoken word shouldn’t be held to the same sort of standard that you have if you’re giving a scientific paper.I’ve written scientific papers, I know how to footnote things, but we’ve never footnoted speeches, and if that’s the standard I’m going to be held to, yes, we will change and we will footnote things.”
that's the first sign of a paranoid schizophrenic, he didn't do it he has a point none of us alive invented words but there is this word that the senator seems not to understand with all the papers he's written,
when it's been published under another undisputed author if you decide to use those words and make them yours yo have committed plagiary, a law maker who is ignorant of the law, and aspires to lead the country T-P style.
as to secondary sources when it fits you're guilty.
