I had a professor in Dublin who cribbed an entire lecture from a New Yorker article.
The law of course is entirely about borrowing from some other source. Original does not describe most winning legal arguments.
I went to my high school reunion recently and was not surprised by one single person.
But today as I was walking down the street I saw a blue man. He was wearing a blue out fit and had blue make-up on. As I was dodging him in an effort to avoid getting blue make-up on me, I thought "that's original." And then I started to wonder if maybe he escaped from the troop of blue people in the TV commercial.
When I was growing up, there was a naked student at Berkeley. He went to classes naked and strolled around naked and all that. Then, apparently he made some naked friends and they formed a sort of naked posse. Then they started to feel brave and they would apparently heckle the clothed people.
And so it goes.....

Originality is easy--brilliance is harder. Who cares about made-up dogwalkers or naked undergrads. We need more Ezra Pounds.
