Platt, Rick, Rob, All
I hope Platt accepts your challenge but then again maybe he will just attack
and retreat again. Have you ever read Metaphors We Live By, By Lakoff
Johnson. Platt's wording "Pirsig strikes again", "The war" clearly shows how
he is approaching this discussion. Lakoff gives the example of thinking about
"argument is a dance" metaphor and how it changes the concept of argument.
Although we all fall into the "argument is a war" trap, I think Platt you
would benefit the most in thinking about this metaphor.
I look forward to you dancing with Rick if you are up to it.
Did I miss the dance between you and DB about politics or are you still
preparing your "attack strategy"?
