I hear you, Jonathan.
But, you're taking on an established and very effective propaganda
machine with a long and robust history. Marx thought that controlling
the presses was the answer; I think that control of the vernacular
matters much more. (For instance, just who's "right to life" is at
stake anyway? What makes it morally OK to harvest organs of a person
who's biological functions have diminished to a level somewhat higher
than a first-term fetus, but murder to terminate that fetus?)
The real "word cranks" are no joke. They're smart and manipulative, and
they operate from a very real agenda.
