Mech:
That passage has null content for normal human beings, which appellation describes both thee and me, I believe. When you see stuff like this you have our permission to gently close the book or magazine and scream silently at the author, "What were you thinking?" I would also give you permission to use the offending material as toilet paper, but it's probably pretty scratchy.
That stuff is tripe, utter tripe. The people who write that shit are just showing off their abilities to string together lots of long words into complex sentences which are intended to have absolutely no meaning because the people doing the stringing have no real meaning in their lives. [/rant]
If you cannot understand something on the second reading, a further reading is only going to waste your time.
