Uche,

You are confusing Common Sense with Political Correctness.  RDF is
butt-ugly, confusing, and useless in its current form.  After years of
TimBL and W3C pitching RDF hard, I have yet to see a single successful
application of RDF that couldn't be done without RDF. 

Its not the fire log that is wet, it's the damn match.
