Katy Louw comments on Facebook: Hey ma, there are a few battles we may never win - the fight against aids, the fight for world peace, the Frances fight to get Katy to procrastinate less etc - but that doesn't mean we stop fighting... any gain in the right direction means something to someone somewhere. Wouldn't you say? I am with Denis on the 'inevitable.' I feel with time, the world gradually migrates into a better and better state - overall. Whatever paradigm that incorporates I don't know. I am not really of the 'it's all doomed' variety. Maybe that is blind optimism... maybe it is mental observation.
Damn right too: where else can we go?
Denis replies: Katy, I give you a big warm hug, over the cyberwaves (21st century non-actionable non-suable fully-insured PC hug, y'unnerstand).
Other people have said that yes, something not far from D2 is pretty much inevitable. It's not that hard to say, actually; in fact difficult to dispute, by anyone who rubs two braincells together over where else things might go.
But so far "said" has literally meant said, as in opening + closing of jaw, usually conveying the sentiment: "if I say Yes will that make you shurrup so we can talk Bulls and Malema?"
Nobody's said it in writing, nailing their flag to the mast, as it were.
You do. You acquire a pedestal in my soul.
Love and good wishes.
Denis
(PS: would you forgive me if I confessed to a sympathy with Frances on the procrastination?)
