Part of the standard .bashrc includes /etc/bashrc and its standard 
definitions.  One of them sets ls to be the color version, and I used to 
chase it down and remove it, only to have the next update of the file 
return it.  I finally realized that putting this alias near the bottom 
of the file overrides anything done elsewhere, getting rid of it once 
and for all.
