Context

One of my favorite things is when happenstance rips stuff from its contextual moorings and assigns arbitrary new ones.

The word "boss" meant something long before it became a brand name for detergent. Return it to its original meaning and toss it in the gutter. Is this a deliberate Marxist statement or just a trash mishap? I prefer to think the former. The world is much more interesting (and less confusing) if we consider the possibility that the apparently accidental and random is actually deliberate and intentional and the deliberate and intention is pure chance.
