every day in 2016, write a sentence or a paragraph or a poem that appreciates
specificity
yes, I appreciate specificity. damn, it's rare! but when it's there, I appreciate it. when a newspaper makes specific allegations, instead of talking about corruption, I appreciate the specificity. when a politician makes specific charges about his opponent instead of talking about malfeasance, I appreciate the specificity. when a preacher...oh, nevermind. when a police spokesman makes a carefully nuanced statement that adheres to facts, I appreciate the specificity, even though I may laugh at the attempt to imply something that is not true. when a reporter actually quotes a scientist rather than attempting to translate what he or she said, I appreciate the specificity. even when you and I are talking and you specify exactly what you know and identify what you surmise, I appreciate the specificity. thank you each and every who partake in this. I bow to you.
