I do leave holes in my arguments, sometimes on purpose, to give zodiac or Dark Angel room to maneuver, but more often due to carelessness or ignorance. I find it flattering when all they can fault is spelling, grammar, or some trivial mistake.

I don’t consider myself a Scrooge, but please accept a Scrooge’s gift:

You can, within an hour’s time
come at me with a hug
and dis me for offensive Silent Night
as if each thing I say
were independent of the whole
For that I thank you
and expect no more
than for each contrivance
that I write
to stand upon its own
