NS Essay Contest

It's a classic story of forgetting to do an essay, with a twist- i'll mail some decals or whatever to the NS member who writes me the best summative essay (easy as shit as it is) off of the following article.

http://www.heritage.org/Research/Reports/2006/06/The-Mythical-Wall-of-Separation-How-a-Misused-Metaphor-Changed-Church-State-Law-Policy-and-Discourse

criteria? 2 page, double spaced, regular font. the standard. if it's inboxed to me by 7 AM Eastern time, it qualifies. i'll read all submissions and announce the winner by the end of tomorrow.

it's a shitty way of trying to get work done last-minute, but i'm sure someone out there is stoked on it.

i've done it for free for ns'ers...there's some smart kids out there. don't be offended because you don't have the mental capacity to do it for a small reward.

yeah basically just a summary. i'd paypal money but i don't have a bank account right now. i'll toss a few bills into the envelope too to the winner, probably in the neighborhod of 15 bucks. just need it done.

i'm sorry, i should have bowed down to your impressive 900. so brilliant.

i obviously have the time to do it. i just don't want to.

if it requires a solid reward, then fine.

i'll mail 10 dollars and 3 large decals to the winner.

haha if it's gonna cost me more than like 5 dollars in stamps to mail an envelope to you, then i'm sorry, but canadians are going to have to stay out. i usually write with a bit of a humorous style, but obviously i don't care enough about this class to try. the teacher will skim it at best. style is undefined, whatever suits you as a writer man

for reference: it's AP gov, so for anyone who's taken it, you know that the essay has to be an intelligent student's laziest work, just like everything else in the class.

Some clarification: summative essay is just an essay about the article. so yes, it's a summary, but it's gotta have a legit introduction and conclusion. 2 pages (no less, a little more would be lovely), double spaced, and you can totally have a little fun with it- IF the essay is still low-level AP work. sorry NS, but i didn't ask for your peons to enter.

like i said, 10 bucks and some oakley/saga/random decals your way to the best essay, plus ONE TROJAN ULTRA-RIBBED CONDOM. IMAGINE HAVING A RIB-CAGE...ON YOUR DICK. BUT BETTER.

This has nothing to do with this thread, but that essay is entirely bullshit. I can only assume that the author is fully fucking retarded.
