We all tend to present our own opinions on these things - including me, and I did not reach my opinions, which are not simple or absolutist, but are in fact complex and nuanced, in the absence of exhaustive study and analysis, over multiple years.  If I were to ignore the facts, evidence and logic that makes coherent sense to me and become as pliantly amenable to list peer seduction as you suggest, I wouldn't be a very aware memeticist, now would I? 

 

 

 

Joe,

        Have you EVER considered that these divisive geopolitical issues

that we discuss on occasion (well, exclusively in your case), are

complex datasets and very problematic with regard to resolution?

 

Kinda like the rich, tropical equatorial band around our planet relative

to the polar regions.

 

Do you ALWAYS have to stand on the geographical north pole politically?

Don't you get COLD up there all alone? Have you EVER considered the

advantages of having some "jungle-booty" with the rest of us?

 

Come down out of the cold sometimes and join us. It's fun. It's warm.

It's a rich place. Mix it up.

 

We're all gonna end up looking like Samoans in a few thousand years

anyway.

 

Respectfully,

 

Walter
