black and white text is legible on my xterm, you goddamned presumptively 
default configured pile of /shit/.  if i wanted syntax highlighting and 
all my twiddles turned dark blue, i know how to do it my own damn self.

i hate logging on to a new system and having to adjust my .profile and 
.exrc to override all the whiz-bang shiny defaults that all the clever 
fifteen year-olds think are required.  setting a path?  reasonable. 
setting up color defaults for everything from ls to vim to my damned 
command-line prompt?  knock it off!

hatefully,
-s.
