16. Calling things by their right names

When asked why calling things by their right names was so important to good governance, the Master replied: "What a boor you are! When things are not called by their right names, what is said cannot make sense. When what is said does not make sense, what is planned cannot succeed. When plans do not succeed, people become uneasy. When people are uneasy, punishments do not fit crimes. When punishments do not fit crimes, people cannot know where to put hand or foot."

I could not agree more, Sir, GENOCIDE
