And to add an additional comment that this corollary helped "gel" into words: You cannot change *the way people think* by changing what words they are allowed to use. This is doubly true when the words you are trying to ban have only a coincidental connection to the hateful thoughts. What we need to do is change how people *think*. Imposing politically-correct language choices just makes the haters angrier and doesn't solve the actual problem. -- Phil Stracchino Babylon Communications ph...@caerllewys.net p...@co.ordinate.org Landline: +1.603.293.8485 Mobile: +1.603.998.6958
