Great piece. But this was not written by Ben Stein. I knew I’d seen something very much like this before, years ago, and this is not at all Stein’s writing style. So I did a quick search and found the talented lady who wrote it back in 2010. http://injennifershead.com/?p=1841
What is it that makes some people think it’s perfectly fine to rip off someone else’s work, tinker with it, “update” it, and slap someone else’s name on it? Not criticizing you, personally. You thought you were passing on a properly attributed piece. Just wanted to correct the record.
Aside from it being the right thing to do, once word gets out that you value attribution and accuracy, you’ll find that the daily count of junk FW: fw: fw: emails will drop to about zero.
Carry on.
I did not attribute the stuff I posted to Ben Stein. I happened to receive it just now from a friend via e-mail. It had nothing directly to do with the article that was the subject of the post (Ben Stein), but I thought that it deserved to be seen by Freepers. Sorry if I wasn’t more clear.
