Non Sequiter, a Response


I decided lately that if I cannot think of a title for a blog entry that I am going to pick a random word out of the dictionary. One of my last posts Helotism, was picked this way.

hel·ot·ism (hl-tzm)
n.
1. A system under which a nominally free social class or a religious, national, or racial minority is permanently oppressed and degraded.
2. A type of symbiosis, as among certain ants, in which one species is dominant and makes the members of another species perform the tasks required for their mutual survival.

Although I think you could make an argument that geeky people are oppresed in some parts of society. But once out of High School they usually clean up.

Yeah, I'd buy that argument.
