Not as clear as I want it to be, but I'm trying to get into the habit of knocking out longer essay pieces without as much polish. Not because I want to be a less polished writer, but b/c I too often allow perfect to be an enemy of good.
Check it out, let me know what you think, style, word choice, content, etc
