I also agree with Mr. Tim here, Remment´s language is splashed with deep irony, it´s so commercial you wouldn´t believe it, but then again, the guy (Remment) is, quite frankly, inhabiting another planet, so please don´t try to even grasp what´s behind that apparently shallow discourse, it may well be "...so outrageous that in order for it to be realized it could never be openly declared." (excerpt from he back cover of delirious ny). I also think, Mr. Tim, that it would be a foolish act to describe things literally, in a scientific manner, if somebody tells you "this is a chicken:c-h-i-c-k-e-n" you are being insulted, and if you get mad because of the simplistic tone of it, you may also have some attitude issues. The silence, the untold, implies the inteligence of the other: be aware.
