Are you referring to Bruce Cockburn, the writer/singer of that song?

Not to mention the crossover cables at the equator, so that the electrons are spinning in the right direction.

Yup. Here all week.

Thank you for your reply.

You are correct, of course, in an upstanding and legitimate world.

But please consider:
What font do you think Enron used for their Annual Reports? What about AIG?

I know - it's not the fonts fault that it gets used. But like those examples you gave, it lends an air of credibility to whatever it portrays.

Maybe the large bailed-out American companies should be compelled to use some sort of 5-year-old-with-Crayon font for the next 10 years.

Bonus car analogy angle:
A font created with a car - gives a whole new meaning to 'printer driver':

Once again, the form versus function debate ...
Apparently, there are some out there who feel that words alone are not enough; they need a particular font to convey emotion or a particular feel.
I just hope that any browser that supports this makes it optional, and I can turn off the downloading altogether.
Maybe I'm just paranoid, but it sounds like it's a great candidate for some security exploits.

... and "Flapping" is pretty serious. Guy must really hate it.

It's a great idea but unfortunately, reality interferes.

For whatever reason, people respond to personality and charisma in the persuasive arts (politicians, lawyers, used car salesmen and their ilk). An engineer may or may not have these attributes (not necessarily a skill) and may or may not get elected. Teachers may have the think-on-your-feet and public speaking attributes, but may get bogged down in actually wanting to "educate the masses", as opposed to telling people what they want to hear.

Accountants and engineers do get elected, but not as often as smooth-talking confidence men.
