Selfish opportunism is what capitalism trains people to expect. Don't scare the j"spoon fed" masses with some newfangled morality...
...language. They have done nothing of the sort; the language is incapable of liberty, one man's tongue being tied to the next man's ear. But if Joyce failed to liberate the language, instead attempting to make it his private domain, he did try to overthrow the English ascendancy of grammar and set up his own fabulous linguistic kingdom...
