Hmmmm.  I'd never played with the ``:color'' command in vim before, and rarely
use ``syntax on'' because I've found the normal vim color scheme
unreadable.  I find the ``pablo'' color difficult as the yellow on a white
background is virtually illegible, but that the ``blue'' and ``darkblue''
are pretty good, at least for the perl format.

``Rights'' is a fictional abstraction.  No one has ``Rights'', neither
machines nor flesh-and-blood.  Persons... have opportunities, not rights,
which they use or do not use.
