to cut or not to cut that is the question

arguments for cutting:
1. brownie points with folks at home
2. avoid questions like "yaaru intha paiyan"


arguments for not cutting:
1. "effort" spent over the last 6 months
2. last chance to appear pseudo-intellectual
3. pseud value
4. can say been there done that at the end of it


not cutting wins unanimously 4:2

what is to be cut is open to imagination

So it's now 3-3.

nice try said...

in case of a try, discretionary powers granted to me give the right to exercise a deciding vote. i vote in favor of not cutting :-)

the post was an exercise in artificially rationalizing an irrational decision making process
