"Optics" are for shallow people.

Which, of course, is why you used it.

I don't think I'm particularly shallow Eustace. That was me you quoted there.
Oh, I'm very sorry. You are among the least shallow voices around here. I was quoting Swampy specifically:
*****************************
"Optics" are for shallow people.

Okay, let's start with Obama's Greek columns.

*****************************
I regret that Swampy took your quote entirely out of context, and without attribution, and I regret any offence that my response elicited from you. I wasn't paying enough attention. My main point, and I'm sticking with it, is that the word "Optics" has no place in this discussion.
I'm just here defending a worthy word. Nothing more.

the term "optics" weaseled its way into politics a few decades ago.
