What an interesting point of discussion. Thanks Drow.

This much is true...

All designators of persons have a functional application in the context of the pertinent flow of positive evolutionary information.

Now be honest. How many many of you read the above sentence with any application of inquiring thought? This sentence though, in fact, is fundamental to the understanding of the filtering mechanism of the human mind. Without this filtering mechanism, informational input would be indiscriminatingly willy-nilly, and many of us would buy the Brooklyn Bridge.

And so the collective mind of men, i.e. culture, has saw fit to designate some men Doctors, some men Lawyers, and some men simply, Sir. And no man, regardless of his iconoclastic penchants, can resist the import of these semantics. Sad, but it's fair.

I'm guilty, are you?
