Now that I have a little time off, I'm going to start paying a bit more attention to other bloggers. I have been accused of erecting strawmen. I suppose it's true - I haven't been arguing against or with anyone in particular, but against theoritical objections of my proposals and arguments. That's not healthy.
I start on a light note of rational optimism and find a new blog called Body Parts, a Bear Flagger. He has a set of concepts that have weight and philosophical pedigree and determines that they are due to be disproven and excommunicated from the Western Canon. I like it. From my perspective, a number of things I criticize generally as Lefty and just plain wrong don't quite get as specific as this, and I would like to use these more handy weapons in my arsenal against wishful thinking. Of course I realize that I have to enjoin the battle, and I buy the premise that these five predictions will come true. That's wishful.
So let it be my Christmas Wish
