We went to Vietnam to fight communism and establish democracy, under which they could have legitimately elected themselves a communist government. Likewise, it's impossible to denounce tinkering in defense of natural evolution. And because of Lojban's mandate, even the hardest of fundamentalists defend natural evolution. Is it more "natural", perhaps, if the tinkers discuss their evil conspiracies in secret and spring them forth in manifestos written in Lojban with the new usage. I'm for that. Although, shutting out the ability of newbies to understand the new ideas even to the extent that anyone can penetrate the offal remains of jboske, it would be more like a cabal, and more like a splinter dialect. And we don't like those. -- // if (!terrorist) // ignore (); // else collect_data ();
