But by claiming all language is labeling, you're not differentiating uses of language.

Hi X, I agree, labeling is language.. I label those trees around our house as different kinds of trees, spruce, pine, etc so people know what I mean.. I label good wine from bad wine by a learned taste.. Not by the "label" but from my palate.. <g>.. And more importantly, I also label my intent, my beliefs, my feelings, .... by language.. verbal, intuitive <g> and otherwise.....That's all I have..... I doubt it anyone else has something better.. If they did, I would have known about it.. <gg>.. And based upon the above, as I read tonight, from the other side, on other threads, I still do not understand how they go on with their conscience as pertaining to war and all it's inherent atrocities, the callousness towards animals.. ie. trapping, leg-hold traps.. only for the sake of "vanity" of uncool wo(men).. Has the fat "tough guy" been caught in a leg hold trap until he dies, chewing off his leg ?... Because a lazy fat "trapper" , such as him forgot where his trapline was or didn't give a shit about the animals, because it was too cold, rainy or he had a hangover.. It sickens me, these so called "outdoorsman".. I don't know.. but it p!sses me off so much.. I have stolen a bunch of their traps when I ran into them doing exploration or when I'm out.... I'd spring them and pry the re-bar rod up that held the trap.. Wrap the trap up and destroy it. F'ck all the trappers.. And I'm not the only one that feels that way.. And the same to the vanity fur wearers..(Not those that need it, of course).. I'm sorry X, I just got going about all the inhumanity out there.. I just had to vent.. m
