Object Orientation shouldn't be treated as a religion to which you must strictly adhere. You just want some useful concepts and abstractions to express your code in terms of. I don't want to see "LEFT OUTER JOIN" sprinkled through my code, as that's not a concept that is relevant to my application logic. Nor do I want to spend months implementing some idiotic "Object Oriented Design Patterns" because it's the current fad to join the Church of Object Orientation. I just aim to have some nice, clean concepts with which I can write simple and elegant code.
