You can disguise its aggressiveness alll you want with veils of subordinate clauses and qualifiers and tentative subjunctives, with elipses and evasions--withe the whole manner of intimating rather than claiming, of alluding rather than stating--but there's no getting around the fact that setting words on paper is the tactic of a secret bully, an invasion, an imposition of the writer's sensibility on the reader's most private space
--Joan Didion
Truth is, I am having problems putting my paper on GM together. I can't decide which side of the issue I am on. Should the trend towards monocultures be halted? Should western aversion to GM techniques be subdued so that developing nations can grow 'golden rice', having an export market to justify it?
Whenever I get writer's block, I usually read more, but that only clouds things.
