I am pretty unhappy with the way my "paying if you should" essay came out. I am trying to pare it down, and maybe split it up into 3 or 4 more coherent pieces where I'm saying one thing that makes sense.
If you couldn't really figure out what I was trying to get across, it's
because I was doing a terrible job of expressing myself. Please read the
next version, and try to forget about the previous one.
