"Hamlet" :-)
I think you're giving labels a bad rap. After all, in one sense all words
are merely labels for experience. We use abstract labels such as
"liberal" and "atheist" to save time. If we had to qualify every word to
the nth degree, nothing would get done.
As someone once put it, "Thinking is the waste of time between seeing
something and knowing what to do about it."
