What is wrong with you people? Your rhetoric has clearly devolved into nothing more than a personal dislike of each other and turned your former thoughtful ideological beliefs into petty quibbling and one-upmanship. It is so clearly personal.

In my fictionalization of this that I shall implant into my memory in place of this sadsackery, one person will play the part of them all. A tale of multiple personalities who use the non-linear nature of internet forums to actually converse with each other, unprecedented until this age. An infinite loop of each identity contradicting each statement, exhausting the certainty muscles of all the others ultimately rendering every argument, contention, proposition, or conclusion completely absurd, each participant opposite AND equal, and every innocent bystander a little demoralized.

Hey look, lets pretend that tomorrow has no guarantee to come. Weirder things have happened, right? Lets live today like that were the case. Cuz you never know really, right? So I want my today to matter. I want to smile a lot. I want to notice all them things I'm usually too preoccupied to give attention to, like butterflies and morning dew, the sound of a swishing basketball, a walk in the rain with my children...

Certainly wouldn't feel like I needed to make any points before the end. But hey, who am I to judge, I'm a big dope you know. Maybe I just learned the hardest ways: Two irrational ex-wives, legitimate institutional insanity, the single most insidious torture device in the history of the Universe... can prevent a man from ever opening his mouth again. I learned that being right... doing right... may not be what it seems.
