19. Poetry of Orwellian terms, think about it
poetry reading but it doesn't seem to make much sense as a post.
(my point, its about silly Orwellian terms)

collateral damage (ooops..) ... as long as there's been war there's been collateral damage. >dead people

pre-emptive strike ... right ... what's your point?
>excuse for war

Relative calm ... again ... your point?
>read Alls quiet on the Western Front

Peace fence ... a fine term for a fine fence
>security barrier, if there's peace, why do you need a wall ??

smart bomb ... your point, again?
another (silly) Military Industrial Complex term

daisey cutter-bomblets ... um, a daisy cutter doesn't have bomblets ... you're confusing your ordinance.> true
2 different bombs, cute terms for bombs eh...

Free Speech Zone ... right ... ?> Bush invention, fenced in area
far from from Bushes location, pesky protesters

911 has changed everything ... Truer words were never typed. It did change everything.> no hasn't changed a thing for me, I still
believe in the constitution and bill of rights..

watch what you say ... good advice in almost any setting.
>especially around John Ashcroft ;)

war on terrorism (war is terrorism) ... a poor term ... war on Islamism would have been my preferred term ... or war on radical islam ... as for war is terrorism, by definition, it is not.
>yes, you got one "a poor term"

were in a new kind of war ... yup, that's true.
> same old killing

"Patriot Act" (police state) ... You've never lived in a real police state, have you? The Patriot Act doesn't begin to create one.
> I've been to east Berlin back before the wall fell, got that
same feeling again ....

Orwellian Home Service OHS ... now you're just making stuff up.
>I wish

humanitarian use of force ... where did you see this?
>some military spokesman back in Afghanistan said this

they hate our freedoms ... depending on who "they" are, this could well be true.> I think its Bush and his buddies (who "they" are)

ooh and n shock n awe y-all ... you don't have the album name quite right> you don't get my twisted humor

and ... homee-cide bomber ... is that like a homicide bomber from da hood?> hey, thats funny,a bomber from the hood.
yes, I know a suicide bomber is a Homicide-Suicide Bomber
suicide bomber for short....
