...But of these sophisms and elenchs of merchandise I skill not...
Milton, Areopagitica

Except he had found the
standing sea-rock that even this last
Temptation breaks on; quieter than death but lovelier; peace
that quiets the desire even of praising it.

{my elitist sensibilities make me reluctant to reply to such obviously inane chaff, but once, and once only, here.
the response of the swine community to the withdrawal of Halliburton from the erstwhile post-Iraq 'Reconstruction' carpetbagging process is "See? No conspiracy here."
like a burglar caught in the act, with one foot inside the window. he takes his foot out of the window and stands there grinning. "See? See? No thief! No thief!"

well yeah. we shone the point-cloud of our attention on the matter and the matter vaporized.
assholes. we won. that one. and let's be clear about this. most of us are working with a world view that involves an already irreparably damaged environment. a world view that brings with it crippling grief and despair, and the constant temptations of apathy, delusion, and denial.
chalk that one up to the good guys. score one for us. Halliburton's out of Iraq. for now.}
