Loaded Words
Derrick Jensen, Upping the Stakes

"Far too many of us have forgotten, or never knew, that words can be used as weapons in service of our communities." So says Derrick Jensen in his column in the March/April issue. Can or should language ever be apolitical? And how can literature help save the earth? Read "Loaded Words" and add your voice to the discussion.
