    and dozens of other things that entertain, confound, and yes confuse us. It is a fluid beast that is an expression of who we are ("We" being a relative term). It can't be legislated. It can't be dissected.
    The point is to create culture not debate it. Because when you do that - like mercury, it just slips through your fingers and disappears.
