Of shoes and ships and sealing wax
Where to begin. Hmmm. When I posted the blog entry below I had no doubt I was pushing all manner of starter-buttons for reflex thinking. Once that kicks in the defense mechanisms go into full throttle, the hackles rise, the words lose the intended and stated meanings and adopt the one that's branded inside the reflex matrix. Kneejerk #1: The post below says nothing negative about women. In fact, women are a secondary issue, peripheral to it. The...
