Plagarism

This may be a short blog because I don't know if I can gather a lot to say on the matter.  I do find it offensive that people would try to steal others ideas but I think most people just gather information and put it into papers to show they have researched and sometimes forget to cite.  I think more often than not it is an accident and not an intentional occurance.  It is important that we do cite our sources so others can find them also.  If I find something in someone else's paper really interesting and would like to read more about it I can simply take the information from their Reference page and find it on my own.  It does seem like everyone else's ideas and studies have creeped into papers so that it isn't even as if we have wrote them, our ideas seem like a sidebar to the ridiculous amount of parenthesis for citations.
