Looking back at it now, I realize my previous post on why I wouldn't vote for certain presidential candidates was ridiculous and without substance. Sometimes I get a little sloppy or lazy in my content because I know I have a pretty limited audience, but that's no excuse for not doing the research. So I promise to myself that I will spend the time I need to spend this week to find substantive things to say about and every candidate that either has a shot, or that I find particularly interesting (Ron Paul).

Incidently, while writing the above paragraph, I discovered that I had always pronounced and spelled a particular word incorrectly. Substantive. I always thought it was substanSive, meaning something that has substance, but I was wrong. My definition is basically right as an adjective, but as a noun, substantive is a synonym for the word "noun." It's a part of speech term, which I don't think I ever knew. Nifty, huh? I wonder if I learned it and forgot it, or if it's just not really taught?
