I just want to say, whatever.  I’m trying to explain to these people-this very specific group of people-this supposed belief that I have about their actions. The funny thing about it, though, the conundrum that I’m unable to resolve in my mind is that I don’t really give a shit-at all-about any of it. Not just their particular movement or my dissapproval of it, but really, I don’t care either way. Sadly. The only thing that’s of any concern to me is the titillation of dissent. I could try to propose for you a thesis on the coup of contention: “playing devil’s advocate to a unanimous decision abdicates the threat of groupthink in that assemblage, etc…we don’t want another Bay of Pigs…but the problem with all of this, with me opening my mouth and blabbering my opinions…

is that they’re not opinions at all! I don’t give a shit! I just want to jostle the majority! Cajole the consensus! I could argue either side; the only purpose is to give myself a rise. whatever…
