See, this is why we all wish Declan blogged more. And it's not even about agreeing with him about income-splitting, either, because only the last paragraph is opinion. I just dig his brain.
Resisting the pull of cynicism since 1969.

Thanks for the heads up on this blog - Very good.
As a hacker (not the evil break your computer with virus type that the media talks about, this type of hacker), I just can't get past the first part!
For some proposition p:
p implies p
suppose p
therefore p
It registers in my head as,
string p = "equality"
if p == p
{
p = p;
}
if p == p
{
p = p
}
Which reads in pseudocode as...
Proposition is equality.
If equality is equality then,
equality becomes equality.
If equality is equality then,
equality becomes equality.
End result: equality.
Huh? Needs more variables!
Hey, careful with the brain-digging! :) - thanks.
'West End Bound' - maybe I'll see you there (in the West End) someday.
'the jf' - that's exactly the right conclusion - you need another variable (argument)
