I hope we all get to be /black/ too... I propose legislation that outlaws
same-race marriage - which is the logical extrapolation of state-sponsored

Diversity, adaptability, flexibility, inclusion, multiple parallel and
mutually intelligible usages. These are the strategies for success in
biology and other complex systems. They are antithetical to chauvinists of
various persuasions.
There will always be a larger, more nuanced vocabulary in English than French
- - with a richer connotational meaning. There will always be more solutions
available for your immediate problems in Perl than Python.
