...the
degradation of language is the condition for the degradation of
democracy.
And now we are in a world where even words are being, you know, put aside certain words we are not allowed to use in the administration anymore, as if the function of that word would disappear. You know, it's basically closing your eyes. So it's a very weird place for democracy right now. .......
An important, very important PBS film
to share with all you love.
Putting the 'word' out is one way to
guarantee saving it.
