It's twenty-ten, not "two thousand and ten",
you miserable curs. "Nineteen hundred and
ten" was what your grandfather said. Get
with the 21st century.

Continuing with Tolstoy whom Isaiah Berlin
would classify neither as a pluralist (a "fox") nor
as a monist (a "hedgehog")...
I used to think Sir Isaiah had gone innumerate
late in life. No man who writes a 1400-page
novel can be called a monist. But the dedication
at which Tolstoy cranked out the goods does
makes him a hard core monist.

MMX is one character less than 2010, and "ememex" rolls off
