Somebody was once told me
The world was gonna roll me,
I ain't the sharpest tool in the shed
The world was gonna roll me,
I ain't the sharpest tool in the shed
Don't hang on,
Nothing lasts forever but the earth and sky.
It slips away,
And all your money won't another minute buy.
Dust in the wind.
All we are is dust in the wind.
Nothing lasts forever but the earth and sky.
It slips away,
And all your money won't another minute buy.
Dust in the wind.
All we are is dust in the wind.

Real Presence - this baked good is also a pie, but we dare not say how
There are three positions in the classical taxonomy
Exclusivists - only one kind of pie is good and valid
Inclusivists - many pies are good insofar as they conform to the features of a normatively good pie
Pluralists - all pies are equally good and valid; "Many pies, one stomach"

yeah, I have a cousin who makes a “raisin pie” and there are certainly a diversity of people who use the word “pie” chaotically!
