Once upon a time, there was a madman. This was no ordinary guy, however, but one who heard messages from on high. The messages pained him and brought him shivers of ecstatic pleasure.
There was a voice carried in the midst of a storm to elevate his heart. It came as if from behind a rainbow -- a stream of fractured white light. The sound of his deity carried all away along the rainbow until it reached him. In dulcet tones, it made itself known: "See those colors, red and blue? How free and separate they are! Their bondage chains are broken and now radiate they most vividly into thine eye! Behold the separate colors 'blue' and 'red'!"
The deeper-than-usual-man went apart from his fellow male to meditate awhile. He has discovered 'red' and 'blue' as separate identities.
This holiest-of-men drew himself even further apart from his fellow man. He began to write the tablet of the law that only vain and foolish idol worshipers would ever question:
-1. Blue and red are fundamentally separate colors, a fact uncontested by all pious men .
-2 Blue must be made to stay on its side of the spectrum and red must be made to stay on its opposite side. For them ever to shift or merge is both malicious and impious and those who perform this technique of mixing will be punished .
-3. The nature of blue shall be to depict coolness and tranquility. The nature of red shall be to depict urgency and enthusiasm. Blue is not permitted under any circumstances to depict enthusiasm: It is 'blue'.
-4. The two colors ought to radiate and shine in splendor for the glory of the universe.
-5. These laws inscribed above depict the status of all things in the realm of nature itself. It is evil and sinister to go against fundamental laws of nature.

BUT NATURE LAUGHED!
