Why My History Paper Was Politically Incorrect

In summary, the idea Hitler taking over Germany and Menes taking control of Egypt people just won't accept, no matter in what sense I'm saying it. Also, any comments about F.D.R. are unacceptable.
All of these things might seem obvious, to a person other than myself. But, in my unaware state of mind, I commited both felons simultaneously in one 3 page essay.
Incredible.

What was I thinking? I was problably as crazy as that person who entitled their To Kill a Mockingbird paper "To Kill a Blue Jay". (oops, that was me too).

Regardless of all this, what I learned from this essay is that although I'm a "good thinker", sometimes thinking beyond the grounds of common sense (esp. in a paper that will be read and graded by a teacher) should be best to be avoided.
But it wasn't really that I wasn't using common sense. It's just that my common sense wasn't a common sense of common sense to anyone else. So maybe having common sense is having the common sense that's commonly sensed by everyone else. This leads us all to conformism.
The one thing I did get right is that internet essays suck. But maybe my essay would have been better if it had stayed an internet essay. oh well :D haha.
