        The attitude of "somebody else please start a thread that maybe I'll
find interesting" continues to amaze me. Nevertheless, in spite of
myself, I have attempted to start a linguistics thread in my "Similarity
of Languages" post. Remember, *everyone* is responsible for this mailing
list's content, or lack of it. Be sure that before you criticize
everyone else, you flagellate yourself! If you think there should be a
discussion about, say, how satellites are positioned over your house,
monitoring your every move, then start a thread about it yourself! Don't
expect others to do it for you! DIY = do it yourself. Take some
responsibility.
        See: "Similarity in Languages" where I attempt to pick up the slack on
the linguistics side of things....

"If it is correct, as I believe it is, that a fundamental element of
human nature is the need for creative work or creative inquiry, for free
creation without the arbitrary limiting effects of coercive
institutions, then of course it will follow that a decent society should
maximize the possibilities for this fundamental human characteristic to
be realized. Now, a federated, decentralized system of free associations
incorporating economic as well as social institutions would be what I
refer to as anarcho-syndicalism. And it seems to me that it is the
appropriate form of social organization for an advanced technological
society, in which human beings do not have to be forced into the
position of tools, of cogs in a machine. " -- Prof. Noam Chomsky, MIT
