Burkha wearers to be fined in France...

[Jonone]

Max, gazing into your crystal ball you seem certain that France will be a majority muslim country within 40 years. What other predictions do you have for us in the same period of time ?

You seem to be sure of what 'most jewellers' demand before entering their shops, Keith. Stop generalising. L o L

I'm just experimenting on coming down to your level to see if it helps in our dialogues with one another.

Ignorance and one-upmanship eh? Oh the irony.

[Jonone]

The word 'sombunall' coined by Robert Anton Wilson is useful here. 'Some but not all'. Much more useful than 'most' so, accordingly 'Sombunall jewellers insist that people remove headgear'. There's no attempt here to present this as the behaviour of the majority which is what 'most' implies. It's simply 'some'.

Reggie should let 'sombunall' into his life, or does he feel more secure with more concrete notions such as 'most' ? Does it make him feel more authoritative? Does it make him appear more authorititative which is perhaps more the point.

'Sombunall' - I like it. Will it make a difference to Keith's life? I'm not sure.
