Subject: Re: On nil qua false [was: Re: On conditionals] From: Erik Naggum <erik@naggum.net> Date: Thu, 29 Nov 2001 04:23:22 GMT Newsgroups: comp.lang.lisp Message-ID: <3215996601432739@naggum.net> * Andreas Bogk | Committees work different. I think you meant to say that you know for certain that all committees are _exactly_ alike, because you have been to at least one meeting of at least one committee. You should make clear to those of us who have been members of many committees and have not seen this incredibly simple truth or indeed discovered your Grand Unifying Theory of Committees, that we are mistaken and have been deluded. There is actually only one committee in the whole world, and it is run by telepathic extraterrestial aliens who want to remove individual freedom, and they were also behind the 9/11 attack and now George W. Bush is turning the U.S.A. into a dictatorship where Chinese legal practices against "national security" is becoming increasingly popular with that Ashcroft figure. The Committee was also behind the Common Lisp standard. Dylan somehow escaped the death grip of The Committee and is the last bastion of individual freedom on earth, our last hope against alien take-over. Therefore, the only remaining hope for mankind is that Dylan take over the world. "Committees work different." Really. Dude, are you fucking _nuts_? Dylan, being a rebellious child of Lisp, is attacking the parens. /// -- The past is not more important than the future, despite what your culture has taught you.
