Duct tape

I like duct tape very much. It is just about the most useful and well-functioning kind of tape there is. But it is easy to go to far with duct tape. The colored duct tape is what I really have a problem with. Just the fact that it is colored. This might not seem so bad, but think about it. If it's colored, it implies it is supposed to look good. And if it is supposed to look good it must be aimed not for practical purposes, but for something rather different, like decoration. If your going to decorate something, why would you want to use duct tape? It would be just as easy to use something else less expensive. Decoration, or whatever it is used for, can be done with something that is not airtight and watertight like duct tape.
