But if the writer is not making the inference, the reader is mistaken in seeing it, and simply drawing a false conclusion. If I write, or speak, with an inference in mind, it is intentional, and a rational conclusion of my words. You are adding up to something that is, imo, not there.
I don't think you really interested in what I see in the article, or why orintation would be mentioned. This is 2001. I had this talk with 100's, literally, of people over the years. It is olllllld. Shelve with the days of Woodstock and let the interested read a little history if they really want to understand. If I am wrong that you are not interested, and merely trying to deflect attention from more important matters to things that amuse you, I might take the time to answer. I live in the deeeeep South. I have spent more than enough time answering questions like, "Wow, what's it like to be gay?". The cost of an answer to that question has risen from a six-pack to a case of beer.
And speaking of coyotes and dogs (that was you, wasn't it?) coyotes WILL call out, and kill, big dogs. So don't be complacent about yours if there are coyotes roaming. |
