If you could cut and paste, you would.
But you can't....not having the intellect, education, or rectitude.
Hence, the explanation as to why you can't do it.
Let's review....and shred your attempted objections. To use the method I use to beat Liberals from pillar to post.....
1. One must be well and broadly read.
2. One must have a clear view of the point attempting to be made, and where to reach out to the best examples to support same
3. One must be both industrious and energetic enough to put the time and effort into the task
4. One must be wedded to the desire to provide truth and education to those who have suffered the indoctrination of government schooling, and who lack the strength to fight same.
5. And one must have learned well in college:
a. citing an authority with an established reputation is better, of course, than citing someone whose credentials are not so lofty. (

b. What has been pejoratively referred to as ‘simply cut and paste,’ is, in fact, carefully chosen to substantiate a point. Is the information covered fact, opinion, or propaganda? Facts can usually be verified; opinions, though they may be based on factual information, evolve from the interpretation of facts.(

c. What has been called ‘cut and paste’ is frequently the message board version of footnotes and endnotes of an academic essay. “…footnotes were declared outmoded just before the era of the word-processors which make using footnotes so much easier. Still, because of its relative ease in both writing and reading, parenthetical documentation is greatly preferred by most instructors.”
