[QUOTE="Anonymous, post: 331749"] When you allow others to tell you what you can say, you allow them veto power over your inborn sense of reality. Words are stand-ins for meanings. Outlaw them, and you eliminate communicating them. Extinguish a word, extinguish an idea. The systematic, knee-jerk campaign to vilify WASPs as "the cancer of history" and to eliminate the terms they've used -- often for no better reason than that they use them -- ignores one salient point : that the mindset that came up with them expressed the mindset/value system that WORKED. For everybody. Whereas the "modern" one works -- look around -- for nobody. All the old cliches are true. That's why they're cliches. :face: [/QUOTE]
