[H2O Man]

There has not been any culture that placed less value on words than our own. Words have power. This society has allowed much of that power to be lost, and there is a good deal of confusion as a result. To compare this confusion to the Tower of Babel seems too obvious, perhaps, but yet when we examine the true meaning that is intended by the words used in the story, the fit is exact.
