People are brilliant at seeing the holes other people are digging, but never their own. I appreciate the potential irony of this statement, by the way. But my main point is it's a pathetic response to talk about holes people are digging, because it's not an argument or discussion, just a way to avoid one.
But never mind. The aspirations, if you will, may well turn out to be hollow. If that's so, I look forward to seeing the next way people weasel out of it.
