Yes. As a matter of fact I pretty much read every single post.
It is OK to have a different point of view, yes?
Um, well, we listened to aggressively cheerful music sung by people chosen for their ability to dance. Then we ate cookie dough, and talked about boys.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
There's been sort of a moratorium on discussing it among me and my friends. It's considered quite a gaffe to even bring it up in many circles in NYC, perhaps because of 9/11. And the people who do, on both sides, seem to want to talk only to people who already agree with them.
I don't think this is just in NYC. I've noticed it everywhere. It's a heated subject, and it can into an argument. Often, it's just more comfortable to let it lie.
t edit: I mean in real life, not here.

Absolutely, and I never said it wasn't. It's just that you have a habit of posting things that are irrelevant to the conversation, which is frustrating in an in-depth conversation like the ones we seem to be having a lot of in this thread lately.

That is not a fair allegation.
My posts are always relevent although often tangential and occaissionally pointed and on rare occaisions humerous. I do not write essays I just say what I think.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

A lot of people would disagree with this, Zoe. You might want to stop by the Bureaucracy thread, since we're actually discussing it right now. I know several people have tried to get your attention about it, but the conversation is still on-going, and if you want to weigh in, this is the time.

Perhaps I should state, then, that it's just my opinion. Sorry if I have offended you.

Got to agree that your posts do often baffle me, and I'm still trying to fathom the context of the Star Wars one.

Zoe, the Bureacracy conversation regarding you starts here. If I were you, I'd go look, but I realize we may handle such situations differently.

It's OK. I know the points I make are sometimes oblique and I do usually try to clarify them. It takes me some time to do so.
Please bear with me. I am looking at Angel (and other shows too) as a form of modern philosophy and trying to tie together ideas without getting too serious about it all. There are fascinating discussions in this thread but it is also the UnAmerican thread. We could create a Politics thread I guess but the idea has, I believe, been vetoed many times.

It was the passage about pre-emptive strikes which struck me when I read it. I thought it'd be interesting to highlight it in the context of the war in Iraq.
