Heh, like I said, that's a pet peeve of mine. I guess in a sense it's like I'm assuming that Lady Sage doesn't know what I "yelled". But it's not that, I just find what she wrote misleading to others who don't know any better. And it's a dangerous misconception. I know a lot of people who believe that although condoms don't protect you 100%, that they do protect you from all STD's, and that is false. I hate the whole "safe sex" bullshit.
Eh, sorry I got worked up about it. /end thread hijack

Whether we write or speak or do but look
We are ever unapparent. What we are
Cannot be transfused into word or book.
Our soul from us is infinitely far.
However much we give our thoughts the will
To be our soul and gesture it abroad,
Our hearts are incommunicable still.
In what we show ourselves we are ignored.
The abyss from soul to soul cannot be bridged
By any skill of thought or trick of seeming.
Unto our very selves we are abridged
When we would utter to our thought our being.
We are our dreams of ourselves, souls by gleams,
And each to each other dreams of others' dreams.
Fernando Pessoa, 1918
