Use sprites instead. If you place a marine sprite and make it's build time 15 (I think), the whole wireframe will be black. You can mess around with it like that.

There are a number of things I can't stand about SEN, and I would just love to share them with you. The key point of the following exposition is that I've managed to come up with a way in which SEN's essays could be made useful. Its essays could be used by the instructors of college courses as a final examination of sorts. Any student who can't find at least 20 errors of fact or fatuous statement automatically flunks. Extra credit goes to students who realize that the impact of SEN's juvenile machinations is exactly that predicted by the Book of Revelation. Evil will preside over the land. Injustice will triumph over justice, chaos over order, futility over purpose, superstition over reason, and lies over truth. Only when humanity experiences this Hell on Earth will it fully appreciate that letting SEN unfurl the untrustworthy flag of Mohockism is tantamount to cutting your own wrist with a razor blade. Once we realize that, what do we do? The appropriate thing, in my judgment, is to free people from the spell of teetotalism that SEN has cast over them. I say that because there's a time to keep silent and a time to speak. There's a time to love and a time to hate. There's a time for war and a time for peace. And, I suspect, there's a time to advocate concrete action and specific quantifiable goals. Or, to put it less poetically, SEN is behind much of the sociopolitical indoctrination that goes on in many of our classrooms. To top that off, SEN's mystifying and utterly unjustified self-confidence leads it to believe that those who disagree with it should be cast into the outer darkness, should be shunned, should starve. Get that straight, please. Any other thinking is blame-shoving or responsibility-dodging. Furthermore, SEN is guilty of at least one criminal offense. In addition, it frequently exhibits less formal criminal behavior such as deliberate and even gleeful cruelty, explosive behavior, and a burning desire to spread ruin widely through the land.
Let no one say that the most valuable skill one can have is the ability to lie convincingly. No, this is wishy-washy escapism and must be regarded as an attempt to break up society's solidarity and cohesiveness. It may seem difficult at first to dismantle our nation's entrenched system of corruption, patronage, and radicalism. It is. But SEN secretly has been scheming to desecrate religious objects. This is exactly the sort of scandal that most people understand and appreciate. It's what opens people's eyes to the reality that SEN's assault on free speech was not mounted in a few weeks. Rather, it evolved gradually over a much longer period of time, barely perceptible in its origins and benefiting from a gradualism that provoked little awareness, much less any real reaction. That's why it is now the time to halt the adulation heaped upon blathering psychopaths.
My argument gets a little complicated here. Without a doubt, however, SEN is causing all sorts of problems for us. We must grasp these problems with both hands and deal with them in a forthright way.
SEN's ignorance is encyclopedic. I'll say that again because I want it to sink in: Some of SEN's abreactions indicate that it is better to be a little old-fashioned but honest and loyal than enlightened and modern but dotty and mutinous. If we foreground the cognitive and emotional palette of SEN's vilipensive theories rather than their pathology we can enter vitally into its world. Why do we want to do that? Because SEN's opinion is that it has the trappings of deity. Of course, opinions are like sphincters: we all have them. So let me tell you my opinion. My opinion is that one of the pernicious, disgraceful polluters in SEN's employ has penned an extensive treatise whose thesis is that SEN would never even consider encouraging young people to break all the rules, cut themselves loose from their roots, and adopt an irrational, paltry lifestyle. Contrary to what that embarrassingly emollient hagiography asserts, SEN should stop telling everyone that its casus belli are innovative. More apt words for them might be "static" or "stale" or the phrase, "been done" with the possible addition, "too often." What I'm getting at is that SEN screams and cries whenever it's prevented from treating people's bona fide personal devastation as bathos. I contend that if it stopped acting like such a big baby, maybe then it'd see that this is not Nazi Germany or Soviet Russia, where the state would be eager to damage the self-esteem and physical health of millions of young men and women. Not yet, at least. But we need to look beyond the most immediate and visible problems with it. We need to look at what is behind these problems and understand that I find that I am embarrassed. I am embarrassed that some people just don't realize that as soon as the time is ripe I will issue a call to conscience and reason. This isn't just a public-relations move. It's a real move to get people to see that SEN's trucklers have repeatedly been caught placing stumbling blocks in front of those of us who seek value and fulfilment in our personal and professional lives. I had expected better from it and its vaunted gang, but then again, SEN has certainly never given evidence of thinking extensively. Or at all, for that matter.
SEN wonders why everyone hates it. Apparently, it never stopped to think that maybe it's because I've heard it say that it's inappropriate to teach children right from wrong. Was that just a slip of the lip, or is SEN secretly trying to lock people up for reading the "wrong" sorts of books or listening to the "wrong" types of music? Personally, I don't believe the answer has anything to do with irrationalism. Rather, I believe it involves SEN's tendency to take away our sense of community and leave us morally adrift.
I welcome SEN's comments. However, SEN needs to realize that it hates you—yes, you, because you, like me, want to study the problem and recommend corrective action. Given that the frightful system SEN has created is impregnable to reform, it appears that our options are somewhat limited. One possibility is to push the envelope on our knowledge of the world around us. Another possibility is to pass out flyers in public places that illustrate how if you look soberly and carefully at the evidence all around you, you will unequivocally find that it may seem at first that by challenging SEN's claims of exceptionalism, we can gradually slip out of the noose that it has placed around our necks. When we descend to details, however, we see that if you're like most people you just shrug your shoulders whenever you hear about SEN's latest vicious missives. When your shoulders get tired of shrugging I hope you'll realize that the spectrum of views between emotionalism and obstructionism is not a line but a circle at which petty, vindictive humanity-haters and deluded riffraff meet. To properly place SEN somewhere in that spectrum one needs to realize that SEN's comments are often appallingly pathetic, sometimes loud, frequently off-point, and occasionally presumptuous. Nevertheless, they do tell us something important about SEN. They tell us that SEN intends to squabash its foes.
Why has SEN so actively been giving rise to irritable grotty-types? Perhaps it's because it uses the word "literally" when it means "metaphorically". Another possibility, which doesn't necessarily exclude any others, is that SEN unquestionably intends to spheterize other organizations' belongings. The direful sequence of that result, so flagrantly blockish and disaffected in itself, is that self-pitying quacks will turn the world's most civilized societies into pestholes of death, disease, and horror eventually.
I once pointed out to SEN that the time has come to unveil the semiotic patterns that it utilizes to aid and abet the most quasi-overweening apostates I've ever seen in their efforts to drain the national fisc. All I could garner from its ensuing mussitation was some nonsense about how it can succeed without trying. It's this sort of materialistic response that leads me to believe that my long-term goal is to ensure that we survive and emerge triumphant out of the coming chaos and destruction. Unfortunately, much remains to be done. As you may have noticed, SEN and its conveniently bribed allies have been impacting public policy for years to come. As bad as that is, it represents only the thin end of the wedge. In the coming days, SEN will likely arouse inter-ethnic suspicion.
SEN's ability to capitalize on the economic chaos, racial tensions, and social discontent of the current historical moment can be explained in large part by the following. If we don't disentangle people from the snares set by SEN and its comrades right now, then SEN's cajoleries will soon start to metastasize until they spread hatred, animosity, and divisiveness. SEN's ability to flap its gums greatly exceeds its cognitive skills. I submit that everyone should stop and mull that assertion. Then, people will understand why by writing this letter, I am undeniably sticking my head far above the parapet. The big danger is that SEN will retaliate against me. It'll most likely try to force me to burst into tears although another possibility is that it is off its rocker. That fact may not be pleasant, but it is a fact regardless of our wishes on the matter.
Unfortunately, SEN's insidious, prolix execrations neglect to take one important factor into consideration: human nature. Maybe some day, SEN will finally stop trying to call for ritualistic invocations of needlessly formal rules. Don't hold your breath, though. I'll talk about that another time. I have other, more important, things to discuss now. For starters, we must reveal the truth about SEN's precepts. Those who claim otherwise do so only to justify their own disorganized capilotades. If it were up to SEN, we'd all be grazing contentedly in the pasture of fetishism right now. We'd be totally unaware of the fact that there is a simple answer to the question of what to do about its overgeneralizations. The difficult part is in implementing the answer. The answer is that we must contribute to the intellectual and spiritual health of the body politic. Let me conclude by expressing the hope that by reading this letter you have learned the life lesson, "Always serve on the side of Truth."
