So, what you're saying is that you think the ball of shit should either glow or not stink, right?

Because if you're saying that things get lost in translation, that's certainly true, especially if you're speaking different languages...

I'm more convinced than ever, if such a thing as taking an absolute conviction further is possible, that the main point of business for the last forty years has been thwarting the creation of widely accessible surplus value, or the use of that surplus to cause widespread harm.
