But 'strident' is rather the point, something of a central tenet, down at the Church of the Radical Agnostic Profi-sizer [C.R.A.P.] .... you may have heard of 'holy rollers', well we absolutely rock, the principle being that if folks get their ya-yas out there, they are less likely to take out frustration on each other in the street .... it's like playing chess in place of war, same thing really but far cheaper to rebuild after the game .... of course eventually all violence will be replaced by typing on the net, until all of the species have the little net transceivers implanted though we offer the facilities of our humble rubber-lined ex-gymnasium as a temple of warship .... bus tickets still available for our field trip/happy hour march on Washington, git em why thay last
'Get them Why thay last' - actually what happened here, is you were among the first to experience a trial experiment using live human beings, purpose being to test a new marketing strategy for which an up and coming Madison Avenue firm has just received a 783m dollar contract - and it worked, obviously, because you noticed this sign, not only did you notice it but you passed it on to me, so now the advertiser [sounds like a Profi-sizer prospect to me] has got word-of-mouth going for him, gratis .... would i at this moment be aware that july bus tickets were available, and have the thought implanted that they might be in short supply, if that sign had been spelled in the same old repetitive fashion - i don't think so ..... of course basic theory behind this is not new, for years SI has handed out small rewards for innovation in language, by turning parts of your post red in preview
Everybody should learn english yes, agreed, i've preached so for years, to people well south of where it is spoken .... but that's not what i was on about, rather it was the idea of a state-imposed 'official' language .... which is beyond stupid, because it is not the place of the state to dictate anything regarding expression to the people, and all it is going to do is insult large slices of the population ..... better to just leave it alone, you don't need an 'official' language, England where the tongue was invented has no law dictating its use, they don't seem to need one, and yes they do have immigration there too ..... absence of state Diktat in this regard does not require you to teach in '65 languages', english is the common language by custom and usage .... but, you'd do well to teach others thoroughly, because second language capability has far more value than its practical use, it opens doors in the mind too [i have a whole rap on this, many back-up points of great weight, just be convinced right now and save me the typing, eh] ..... and consider, if you keep those neocons in power, the young men on the guns are going to need a variety of fluencies in which to bark their orders at all the scattered locals
Not going to be around much more this week, it's been a slice here .... 'the Arabs invaded' - this i will take with me, and ponder, consult any oracle i run into, try to work out its meaning, looks like some sort of code maybe ..... maybe that Madison Avenue firm has made an updated definition of the verb 'to invade'? .... could be, or possibly of 'arab' i guess ..... they wouldn't dick around with the article 'the' would they? .... well it is the year 2003, anything is possible ..... man oh man, you really can't depend on much anymore, can you ... except that in BC it's not entirely unpleasant in june-july, if you travel light and leave your tanks at home, bienvenido al gran norte verde, cháu |
