This item has “Postmodern” written all over it. Apart from it being designed along the discriminatory Positive Action lines – the redistribution of rights and power – the key words are “words hurt”. Don’t we know that in Pomo sound-waves are literally weapons, beating against the eardrums of opponents, just as pens are javelins, writing polemics against victims? The depth and length by which figures of speech are taken to ludicrous – literal – heights, is breathtaking! LOL if the imprecise use of terms and definitions wasn’t at the root of today’s madness that passes for a ‘debate’!
