now, with Jerry on board, you can add this one:

"Butler is full of shit." Then, repeat what Butler's saying as if what you're saying isn't what she said.

to Grimes: by contestation, I'm pretty sure Butler means something a lot less bloddless than, "Let's consider these ideas, deliberate, then vote on them democratically."

Also? who gives a shit if she contradicts herself by writing undemocratically, yet apparently espousing a 'democratic' politics? it's a fallacious argument to begin with, so let's move on.
