    Because I just noticed this: if the army marched into your city tomorrow and declared martial law, what would your gun actually do? A lot more damage than you'd probably ...

    Now, what can we infer? Let me see... how about... LESS GUNS = LESS SHOOTINGS. Actually, no. The logically correct conclusion based on your chain of statements is that stricter ...

Way, way back in the 1988 Presidential election, then Vice President George H W Bush had a phrase he liked to use: "A Thousand Points of Light." It refers to the idea that a community is made up of people who contribute in a thousand, different small ways, but with each helping to illuminate their community. It's a phrase I think about a lot when it comes to YWS. Looking forward, the site will continue to change and grow, but it will always remain a community dedicated to promoting creative writing as a favorite pastime.
