      As a kid, I would never have guessed how much actual debates consist of showing you didn't actually say things people claim you did.

      Which in turn means actual debates are both more boring and less useful than I would have expected.

      (I didn't mean the GOP debates, though no doubt those are useless too. I was thinking about whether to reply to http://goo.gl/iWB4Fz .)

          @paulg People use publicized events as hooks to hang their own thoughts on. Think blockchain:he's adding hisown words into the public ledger

          @paulg ur essay took poverty out of politics. Inequality more political than helping the poor (agreed all, policy specific), hence outrage:)

          @paulg your argument is superficially close to spillover theory- thus it becomes honeypot to people eager to be indignant about it

          @paulg @geekwire Paul, FWIW, setting the record straight can be as profound as letting it go--depends on whether you think it's worthwhile
