Far-fetched flaming follows (what! you can't type ^O?  o well):

>Gack!<  I'm incredibly *offended*.  The inherent sexism implied in the 'use'
of the word "use" depicts a world view laden with a lack of understanding of
human potentials, burdened with man's insensitivity to man--Colin, standing
for oppressed minor(re 'use' of "semi")ities, who in essence can only be 
considered as minor("")ities when their full (rather than "semi-") potential is
ignored, and only utility (as, say, a roofer or a brick catcher) considered
important; in reality, by ignoring the full 'use' of Colin (and by this the
'full' use of his colon is also ignored)(not to mention his cologne), by
ignoring potentials not fitting into some arbitrary standards imposed by
cronies, we *are*, rather than conserving our social order (and thereby our
rights to cripple and squash children, with firings and cars), seeding the
seeds of its own destruction through stagnation: to remain stationery is to
become sealed into an enveloping fate to be controlled by clerks (and probably
white male ones, to boot), a world of unbendable, unfoldable, photogenic,
xerogenic personalities blinded to the actual, total groatiness inherent amd
inherited in the mass compression and reduction of human goals into a striving
towards artificial apollonic standards, as evidenced by the translation of
health into the mere decorative effects of unnscessary sun worship; this
reduction of goals reduces communication, the human dataflow, and
artificializes emotions, and will lead us away from, as can be seen in past
hist'ry, searches for true values, will lead us away, decending, to the rocky
cairn of biological determinism where the natural freedom and gaiety of the
human condition will be stifled in the too-tight shrinking of Genes as Sole (or
Soul) (but more encompassing than Seoul) Determinator, towards accepting
unquestioning ourselves as finite-state hardware, generally registering and
responding to input--and thereby ingorant of how this imbues and thereby
damages our vision into tunnelvision in the name of streamlining and pipelining
(when most of the actual throughput, in terns of harboring natural worth, is
virtual uncollected garbage)...ingorant of the delights of examining ourselves
instead as un-spec-ed software...
