Of all the people in the United States... they fall into two categories:
Those who divide people into categories and those who don't.

Wow... would really like to find those in the United States that do not identify ANYTHING by categories.... plus would have made taxonomy of vascular
plants, among others, a bit difficult for Carl Linnaeus ... and everyone else .. hence the reliance on "categories"....
Found using "categories" very useful while identifying "plants", "animals" "chemicals" and a few other things..
Oh, thats right Congress.... and the President... they work it all by "darts"... oh, but then wouldn't that be a type of "category" also.. 3, 9, 12 et
al...
Would be a lot more fun the other way, however systematic investigation and/or identification requires the development of categories in order for one
to know where they are.... in a Global "sense"... or local... imho

So...that would be at least three categories; more than one for "Those who divide people into categories" (plural) and "those who don't. (a category
in itself). ...and assuming they are fertile, well...the possible
categories are infinite.
Now that is enough to evoke "passion, mental health, and drugs". That's today's murderers multiplied exponentially. So, is that one category, three or
gazillians?
Oh Jeeze! I am falling into the category of Nomads with too much time on their hands.   
I'm outta here

Hey, not so fast. Get back over here a minute.
Can we accept that the population base remains finite. Big, really really big, but finite?
Then, can we really have infinite permutations with a finite object set?
(Did I mention that I'm really Jonesin' for a ride? (Did I mention that I'm about to head out on one? And not a moment too soon!))
