To which Sunil replies:
"It's like the scene in The Godfather when Clemenza is explaining to Mich=
ael how to pull off the hit on Solozzo and McCluskey; he says something t=
o the effect that, "It's good to have a war every few years, gets rid of =
the bad blood."
I would suggest an even older allusion, Proverbs 26:11: "As a dog returne=
th to his vomit, so a fool returneth to his folly."
The case being presented, re: public versus private schools, has long sin=
ce lost all semblance of argument and is now merely incantatory utterance=
. If we all repeat the same things over and over again, perhaps we'll ex=
perience the deja voodoo effect and be zombified into agreeing with one a=
nother.
Of course, repeating things ad nauseum is more likely to lead to the afor=
ementioned vomit effect.
Abracadabra,
