Obviously there was a degree of prickishness about my post, and I'm not denying anything within your post. I think at base we agree, and the paradoxical reduction is that it's a very complicated argument. I wanted to emphasise the above - just because I could (potentially) make a very earnest argument about how I'm somehow above 'being a cunt towards the world', the truth of the matter is I'm not, and neither is no-one else. Earnest eschewing of negative aspects of society doesn't remove them, nor does it solve them.
Gaah. Futile post. Gaaah.
