Come on Now, You Know if you are stealing words, quotes or ideas from someone else. Ernest, don't try to obtain points just bt trying to be PC. Write something worth discussing.  Your blog is BS. 

In case you misunderstood. I receive requests for Custom Couture Web Design for Real Estate - many of whom are migrating from Template based sites.

Cookie Cutter Design vendors provide temp-lated content that one can use on their websites. This content may be good, but unfortunately is in use on many sites. For Search Engine visibility this does not help at all.

Hope this helps!

I completely understand what your point is for this post.  It's so important these days to be original, but it's also so easy for someone to copy and paste the work of another person for their own personal use.  It's wrong, but it happens.  I'm glad that the search engines demote sites with identical content.  I just hope that the original site is not also penalized.
