Hmmm, if I didn't know better I'd think this was kicked off by my uber-emo-rant this morning.

I agree with everything you've said in theory and now have a semblance of understanding of what conflicts with it in my head; unfortunately there's a lot of stuff bouncing about up there so its going to be a while before I can debate any finer points with you coherently ... so next time we meet you'll just have to amuse yourself by drawing on me or something ;-)
