Comments on: Topic 9 to discuss Australia 2020 Summit’s government topic http://stilgherrian.com/politics/topic_9_registered/ All publication is a political act. All communication is propaganda. All art is pornography. All business is personal. All hail Eris.

I'll certainly be trying to make <strong>topic9.com.au</strong> into more than a personal blog, treating it more as a specialist media outlet covering this issue -- though I haven't quite worked out <em>how</em> yet. @Eric TF Bat: Interesting choice, and yes I do like seeing opposing points of view when well-argued.

I find him frequently irritating and weasel-like, with a tendency to only stop using veiled ad hominems long enough to accuse his opponents of using veiled ad hominems, but for all that he's blindingly intelligent and very well read. You'll probably hate him within seconds, since I think he's the Mirror Universe version of you. He even has a goatee, at least sometimes! But what the hell: uniformity is death. (Oh, and I should point out that I like him, as a human being. As a Liberal pundit and economist I despise everything he stands for and on, but the advantage of the SCA is that the devout catholic music teacher and the part-time stripper with the Club X job can be best friends without ever talking about stuff that might alarm them. C'est la vie.) I volunteer Michael Warby.
