5 stages of dandelions

In his Slice column, Paul Turner lists the 5 stages of dandelions:

1. Denial. (If you ignore them, maybe they'll go away.)
2. Anger. (Get out the chemicals.)
3. Bargaining. (Just don't take over the entire yard, OK?)
4. Depression. (They always come back. They always come back.)
5. Acceptance. (Dandelions are not worst thing that can happen.)

Question: When it comes to dandelions, are you tolerant of them? Intolerant? Don't care?
