It's strange how talking about something so minimally important to core societal issues, like wine, can raise so many vital dysfunctions of discourse.

I don't think it is strange at all, actually.

It has been so since at least Rousseau (Jean-Jacques). Probably earlier.

Second second thing, all these questions appear very simple and abstract until trouble comes your way. It's strange how talking about something so minimally important to core societal issues, like wine, can raise so many vital dysfunctions of discourse. If we could learn to talk reasonably and compassionately and honestly about one thing - any damned thing, we would be on a much better footing as a species with regard to getting to grips on what really plagues us.

Do you mean here, where dysfunction is a shibboleth, or are you referring to your experiences in the larger world. Pray tell.

I get a lot of shit here just for liking cinnamon raisin bagels.

As you should - that's a travesty (although I love cinnamon, I know its place and it's not on or in a bagel).

I just got a promotional job with the Wines of Cinnamonstein!!

Quite excited about it.

Still the same folks who make wine from raisins.
