Ultimately, this is my whole point. Drop a silly little carrot, and it will be snatched. It doesn't matter that the carrot has been chewed on for ten years.
And I know you are trying to position yourself outside of this silly debate, with the superiority of irony; but, it matters little. The debate itself is always there - always a dangling carrot, and you were the one to take the first bite by bringing it up. The whole thing is a minor annoyance in that it gets in the way, but in and of itself, it is just silliness. But still,
I don't get why it is not greeted with a big yawn.
Why did you take the opportunity to give it a push, and
why did people take your carrot? Who, at this point, is unaware that
this issue has been flogged to death?
post note: my previous post was not intended as part of the argument; rather, it was an expression of how we all naturally use language to refer to compound things like cities; especially how our use changes with changes in context.
