There are more colors in nature than in any size box of crayons

Yet, with a box of Rosetta Stone Store eight crayons, including one crayon called Blue, you can show an ocean or a sky, a naval officer's uniform or a Blue Angels jet. But, sometimes one blue crayon isn't enough. You need more variety of blues to show the details. When setting off a robin's egg from the sky, one blue crayon won't do. When drawing a naval aviator standing in front of a blue jet against a sparkling blue sky, one blue crayon isn't enough.In any drawing, you must have enough colors to show the details you want. Maybe you need the box of 96 crayons, with its 15 varieties of blue: cerulean, cadet blue, blue green, navy blue, midnight blue, denim, pacific blue, steel blue, wild blue yonder, turquoise blue, robin's egg blue, periwinkle, sky blue, cornflower and blue.The same is true with words. When you're making the word "culture" or "improvement" or "communication" do the work of 15 better suited words or phrases, you're losing the Rosetta Stone Language details in a sea of blue.Beware the times when one blue crayon isn't enough.For a neat look at language, check out the introduction to Stuart Chase's Tyranny of Words. See page 4 of the Look Inside at Amazon. "Idealism" gets the blue crayon treatment. I have friends in South Africa whose Grandparents were sent to concentration camps. Given that a characteristic of Empire (imperial in the case of Rome and England, commercial in the case of the US) is to impose its culture on others, how far is it right to reassert that identity, when to do so inevitably involves some challenges to the previously or current dominant power? If you are English (to take the example that came up yesterday) then you are not personally responsible for such actions, but your position in the flow of time is at least in part in consequence of them. Most people I know give as good as they get, with humour but others seem very precious about it.My own view is that assertion of identity, with humour is valid but others think that this is a new form of racism. It's an interesting question and somewhat ironic that the tables have to a degree been turned. Its not an easy issue though, like all questions of line drawing. I am reminded of an old joke however.Q: Why is it that Catholics Rosetta Stone Japanese and Jews are the only people who make jokes about their religion?A: They know they are right so it doesn't worry themHumour I think is key, its a sign of self confidence, a willingness not to ignore the past, but to embrace it and move forwards.
