"You Can't."

The Star Fox, Part Two, III.

Gunnar Heim to Jocelyn Lawrie:

"'My dear... the only thing that's marred an otherwise delightful time has been your trying and trying to wheedle me into giving up the raider project. You can't. In the old Chinese advice, why don't you relax and enjoy it?' He brushed his lips across hers." (p. 92)

Heim is so right. They have resumed their relationship, at least temporarily. They are spending time together. They disagree. They have already discussed the reasons for their disagreement. There is nothing worse than sterile repetition of a disagreement especially when one party, in this case, Heim, has made it clear that he does not welcome the repetition. He is not closing his mind to any new evidence or arguments but it is crystal clear that, as things stand, no new evidence or arguments are being presented.

When someone says, "No politics," let's talk about some of the many other things in heaven and earth.
