You are probably smart enough to think of several situations that 
justify the use of a goto (or something that is a goto in disguise, like 
an early return in a function, a break or a continue, or a switch).

One can abuse a goto in any language, like every other language 
construction. But don't make it a "shouldn't" like a law.

Some people take Dijkstra too serious. Learn to think for yourself, I am 
sure he did.
