Yeah, I saw the python nltk yesterday just to see what was currently out 
there.  Despite the fact that I absolutely abhor the indentation 
enforcement of python (neither here nor there), that whole project is just 
more of the same "everything and the kitchen sink" mentality.  There is so 
much in the way of graphical representation that has nothing to do with a 
program that just gets things right.  That 's all I care about.  As long as 
the parsing works very well (the logic of 'and', 'or', 'if', 'then', 
'because', etc), then everything else will start falling into place.  Just 
think of this as you would any c compiler or script interpreter.  The 
compiler must be able to get the intended logic right.  As long as that is 
the case, the user/programmer can do whatever the frick he or she wants as 
far as creating meaningful content.  This thing is doing pretty damn good 
with the logic on some highly convoluted statements and sequences thereof. 
 Forward thinking businesses will have to take note of this fact... they 
have no choice.  Then we can all start getting together to determine how to 
develop the exact dictionaries and statement types that will fit their 
needs as well as possible.
