Hmmm..... First you say:


I never said I was leaving.


.... set off dirty nukes in the top 20 markets on
the same day. And that would do it.

Sounds like you've got it all planned.

Then you say:

My plan is to be outa here before that happens.

Which one is the lie?

Dave


Neither.

I never said I was leaving.

But you are thinking about it?


But I do plan to be outa here before the nukes hit the fan.

That implies at least a preliminary timetable.

Your brain cannot parse that?

Sure. I just parse it for the doubletalk that it is.


Saying I am leaving implies I have a definite plan...a destination...

Saying I plan to be outa here implies I am thinking about it.

Thinking is the first step of a "plan".


I know you have problems with nuance. It isn't my fault.

The only "problem" I have with nuances is resisting the temptation to
illustrate just how skilled spinmeisters use them to make the claim
they mean something totally different than what they actually said, or
how they deliberately remain vague enough so as to claim to support
either side of an issue depending on how future events unfold.
