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 
incest.

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.
