There will be those who's eyes dodge the lens of their glasses, who peer over the frame with the stern eyes of critique and dismiss the whole affair without uttering a word. And those who put the printed word to death long ago and have long since ceased their lament. And still those who put 2 fingers up and say go away your argument is flawed and you're an obscurantist.

But to you I say I may put ice cream in my coffee! I may have African rooibos and red thyme shower gel! And dammit when the time comes to address the problem of the nature of myths which are in turn products of the myths that constitute our understanding of the world, you better believe I'll give you an an answer. Now fetch my pipe!
