Yeeks, Gregg, now I have a choice between deciding that you aren't 
competent to critique my ideas on education or my poetry.  Maybe you 
just know more about my poetry, or less.  Or maybe what you do is not in 
some way in competition with my poetry but is with my views on 
education.  Which I'm sure are logical, though the premises may be 
screwy.  Before I accept that they are, though, I'll need to know which 
ones are screwy and why.
