No it doesn't and black doesn't equal bad, although dark does... and for good reason, because darkness hides things and conceals things and has a lot of bad things happen in the dark. So reprogramming reality is, IMO, stupid. Actually, not just in my opinion. It is stupid. We shall now rip the plague of darkness not ripped out of the bible, and blackhole will not be not black, although they ARE black, but lets call them green. And the blackness of the night will now be prohibited prose, and the dark side of the moon will not be called the colorless side of the moon... etc etc etc etc. It is BS. and after listening to and being subjected to months of poltical BS from our supposed leaders, my fill for newspeak has reached its limit. Soon we will not be allowed to have white hat hackers. It was always interesting and purposeful that George Lucus made storm troopers white. I you forget that Black is often identified with being cool, and sleek, and steely, and sexy. -- So many immigrant groups have swept through our town that Brooklyn, like Atlantis, reaches mythological proportions in the mind of the world - RI Safir 1998 http://www.mrbrklyn.com DRM is THEFT - We are the STAKEHOLDERS - RI Safir 2002 http://www.nylxs.com - Leadership Development in Free Software http://www.brooklyn-living.com Being so tracked is for FARM ANIMALS and extermination camps, but incompatible with living as a free human being. -RI Safir 2013
