John, in the light of Marsha's (Lopate's) poem and your amazing reaction to it, and this statement of yours ...
"I might want to destroy my father-n-law at our weekly chess match, but that doesn't mean I despise him. In fact, such battles are indications of great attachment and love." You should re-read the paragraph I just posted in response to being argumentative / style of argumentation ... No point arguing / fighting with someone you don't already .... do I have to spell it out ? ..... love. (What's so funny 'bout peace, love and understanding ?)
