He’s been reading about
trinitarian things, ternary
vs. binary things and the
“third way,” kind of like
thesis, antithesis and
synthesis from Hegel
only in religious term-
inology to work things
out without a lot of
either/or conflict and
he understands that
synthesis is good and
that there is far too
little of it around
America these days, but
at some point in time
someone has to rise to
the occasion, massage
his kahunas or massage
her huevos and say, “No,”
and let the chips fall
where they may and they
may fall all over his
or her head, but to
take a stand simply
has to be taken when
it seems everyone else
is saying no for all
the wrong, horrible,
insensitive, unethical,
selfish reasons. Then
among friends be sure
to practice the “third
way,” the synthesis, the
“compassionately ob-
jective way” as one
religious person put it
in a meditation he re-
ceived over the internet
and yes, it should be
tried with the opposition
but, to be quite frank
about it, didn’t President
Obama bend over backwards
and try that over and
over and over and over
and over ad nauseam?
Okay, he gets the point
not to be so argument-
ative but he wonders
if you get the other
point, right or do
you really want to
argue about this
bloody thing?
