Re: Sacred tangent (was Re: just checking...)

>Uh, you don't see any distinction between the function of political
speech and rock music lyrics? (I assume you're being facetious.)<

In that they both use words, no.  Obviously they are about different things, 
but if sacred is such , dare I say, sacred word its supposed coopting should 
offend no matter who does it or why it is done.

And again my point was that, even if on some hyper technical, uber religious 
level, (I'm not granting that), you are correct, you are so far out of the 
mainstream function of language as communication that it comes across as 
tilting at windmills.  Yeah sometimes sometimes tilting at windmills is 
heroic, but in this instance it just looks foolish.
