We live in a universe of namables. Within that universe we make classes. Let me here make the class of chairs. I now want you quickly, without thinking too much about it, to name some of the 'not chairs.' You have suggested 'tables,'
'dogs,' 'people,' 'autos.' Let me suggest one now: 'tomorrow.' Does it make you a little uncomfortable when I say "tomorrow is not a chair"?
