You don't have to be an advocate of these things to be complicit with them.

And by the way, Jonathan... preening yourself on not being an advocate of these things?

This is setting rather a low bar, don't you think?

You resent me, Edward. There's just no pleasing you.

Do I owe it to you to be pleased at your "sincerity?"

Isn't your sincerity just another sleazy, 'dynamic' code-word for "benevolence?"

Perhaps you are just that little closer to Bush and Obama than you are prepared to acknowledge.

Yes, even to yourself!

You don't owe it to me at all.

But I just can't see anything constructive about your dismissive attitude.

Dismissive?

Can you seriously tell me you have never been dismissive of the views of others?

Um...

Give me an example.

Well, I once gave a conference paper.

It was fairly biased.
