This is an assumption you *willfully* make. As has been pointed out before, you
confuse symptom with cause. However, I believe this to be a wilfull
distortion in the service of an agenda. It is silly, of course, to believe
that language * dictates* belief, in modern culture. However I will
strive to maintain an ever decreasing, but slight, suspension of disbelief
in the face of excess.

This is an interesting point, real or *perceived*. Whatever, you seem to be
stuck in it. A tarbaby?
