>> Sheer bloody-mindedness as a way of life. Fuck 'em.
Hey! Bloody-minded can be informative and entertaining! That's why I like, f'rinstance, Jim Heartfield and Daniel Davies so much.
'Course, when you're shouting down an established thesis concerning a massive life-or-death issue (f'rinstance the HIV/AIDS link) without a compelling counter-thesis of your own, your bloody-mindedness would rather need the buttress of a strong destructive argument, Chris ... preferably one comprising three posts or less.
