We have come a long way from Shakespeare’s “What’s in a name? That which we call a rose/ By any other name would smell as sweet,” [Romeo and Juliet, Act II, Scene II]. Juliet is telling Romeo that a name is just a name, a convention with no meaning behind it, that names themselves do not hold worth nor meaning; they simply act as labels to distinguish one thing from another. We now use names/labels to establish the quality of an object or person. ’It’s a [insert name brand], it must be good!’

Never could trust Ancestry. Identical twins got tested, came out as two different backgrounds.

The elites (the woke) will (or are trying to) make you feel like you are not as good as them.

At least sparkling wine is still sparkling wine. Can’t say the same about honey, olive oil, or organic cotton – and probably a lot of other things.

Just like if it’s not from the Frankenstein region of Germany, it’s just a “sparkling monster.”
