which may better reflect the subtleties of details in politics and human society in general... but which are just so much work to try to understand. Much easier to pretend everything is black and white... bundle up a couple 3-5 stock comments... and trundle off to a discussion, all ready to tweak the grammar of your stock comments in order to try to make them fit more "organically" into a conversation... so that they don't feel so much like a hamfisted job of pasting the same comment/sentiment into a conversation at every lull... over and over and over again. Sorry again... didn't mean to infringe on your conversational schedule with... gasp... the "convoluted logic" inherent in an explanation of a subtle, complicated, and perhaps even "convoluted" point. From now on I'll stick to sarcasm when/if I respond to you.
