I'm not that Chris (who has already pulled for love), but FWIW, the
general conception of love is too narrow - it mostly turns out to be as
romantic, greedy and transaction-oriented as the worst of economics, a
case of I, Me and Mine, fuck everyone else.  It's not a question of
whether you believe in love - everyone believes in something and I
daresay everyone has their Rosebud that they love more than anything
else - but what kind of a love you bring with you.

I hope Andrew never recovers from his hangover.
