I have always wondered about a question asked of me when I was a child, maybe some of you have heard it..... Why do we park in driveways and drive on parkways? Seriously, who comes up with the names for things? Is there some Naming Corporation out there? Aliens? And at what point do people vote and say, yeah I want to call it that too? Why's a keyboard not a button board? Why is a flashlight not a steady light? Does history really mean his-story? If supernatural things happen all around us, just on a 'plane' that we are not cognizant of, doesn't that mean that they are actually just natural? What is so 'super' about them? If American Indian are Native Americans, blacks are Afro-Americans, and Hispanics are Latin Americans, the what are whites? *ramblings of a bored mind*
