I want One.

Am I the last person on the Internet to see this?

A One that is not cold is scarcely a One at all.

It seriously cracked me up. I'm still not sure why. It was probably just the mental cleansing I needed after an evening spent researching logical fallacies ... all because of an episode in my novel involving wheatgrass.

Which is an entirely new world to me (the formal argument world, not the wheatgrass world). HOW did I survive to the ripe old age of 46 without ever learning the language of logic to debunk an opponent's argument? Now I actually have words to put to some of the specious drivel that the credulous woo-woo-heads have been bombarding me with for decades. It's like learning how to drive a car -- more fun and way easier than I had allowed myself to believe.

Stop self-defeating behavior and learn how to talk back to idiots with no evidence ... free, on Ye Olde Internet!

These sites were particularly useful:

The appeal to be open-minded
Five apples
Woo
