That is what happens to those who lie, to those who believe the lies.<br /><br />Words have power. The Alinsky manual (<em>Rules for Radicals</em>) teaches how to use them for evil, tyrannical purposes. <br /><br />Rachel, Keith: you must have passed your Alinsky-indoctrination classes with A+ grades!

I am glad I clicked on the links because I was thinking of an entirely different word and it wasn't "panglossian." <br /><br />I have no problem using a word if it calls attention to the hate that is behind it. I just finished reading <a href="http://www.kathrynstockett.com/" rel="nofollow"> The Help </a> which used a word other than "panglossian" repeatedly. It probably couldn't have been written without it. Context does matter. <br /><br />If we are going to eliminate the use of words though, there are a few that I have a problem with. I find that "T" word offensive but no more so than the "B" word that rhymes with spigot. While we're at it let's get rid of the "R" word that must be spelled with 5 A's. All three are used with the same intent.MarySuehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12314892655929265823noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1522121129844880066.post-77457652862888292622010-08-21T18:49:00.488-04:002010-08-21T18:49:00.488-04:00Yeah, I too wish the many pedants among us would s...Yeah, I too wish the many pedants among us would stop using the word "panglossian".Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
