Don't know if I understand you amd.  Communication, as I figure it, is mere
articulation; balm for the... (if Faizi will pardon the abstraction) soul.
Walls inhibit this, plain and simple.  One cannot articulate something that's
already been articulated.  But what are you saying about taboo?  Taboo is a
wall.  Are you saying one cannot articulate anything without the influence of a
wall of some kind?  What exactly is being kept separate from what in that case?
and in the interests of what?  or of whom?

I know I'm being lazy and not thinking this out far enough, and probably won't
until the second after I hit 'send.'  Sorry if my questions reveal that I've
neglected to think things through.  I'm an impulsive sort.  I cultivate this.
It's what needs articulating for me, if only to clear the way for articulation's
sake.
