The Language of Terrorism

The Magic Word for today, boys and girls, is terrorism. Of course you are aware that every drug-user is a terrorist.

But did you know that everyone who swaps MP3's on the Internet is equally gulity of terrorism?

Cigarette smoker is just another name for terrorist.

Some conspircy theorists think George Bush is a terrorist.

Some others think Bill Clinton is one.

PETA thinks everyone who celebrates a traditional Thanksgiving is a terrorist.

Everyone's a terrorist to someone, it seems.

I think it's pretty obvious that this word has been so misused and overused by media and government that it has become nearly meaningless.

And that's a shame.
