I Know This Mush Is True

[My favorite, or most-used, word these days: imprecise. I see imprecise writing everywhere, including in much of what I have myself scribbled. I constantly want to edit, revise and extend my remarks - must mean I'm soaking up the main lesson of law school. Am I becoming one of those men Socrates derided (what were they called, not the Stoics or the Cynics; we talked about them endlessly in Greece...), those who thought it was of utmost import to be able to win any (I almost typed "either") side of an argument, without regard to What is True? Our waters lack clarity as it is, without purposeful attempts to muddy them further.]

[Maybe it's all the bluff and bravado surrounding the ongoing Iraqi adventure. All Apologists for Our Illegal Invasion keeps shifting around, Justifying Their Love of a foreign policy we can't legally maintain or financially afford. "It doesn't matter if the reason we used to sell the 'war' never existed; all is OK if la regime Hussein is toppled." Crap crap crap crap crap crap CRAAAAAAAAP!!!!!]
