I don't necessarily disagree with any of the stated, though I'd say it more along the lines of "To increase one's anything-ness is to decrease it's current-ness." I don't see what you're getting at by saying that we're becoming WoW, though - what of WoW are we gaining that is specifically WoW and not part of anything else?

Based on your negative attitude towards Yoshi-P as a symbol as opposed to a team leader, I'm guessing you're using WoW as the example because it's the dominant persuasion?

I might be pegging you totally wrong here, but if this forum were the real world, you strike me as the kind of person who barges into a discussion about cars and goes on a rampage about those "damn liberals" and how they're destroying the country with their socialism. But, I digress.
