War On


Watch Your Tongue

It is a sad sign of our modern times that a violent phrase of war on x has been coined so often in our public political discourse. Is this part of a strategy to desensitize humanity? War on Drugs. Culture Wars. War on Poverty. War on Women. War on Religious Liberty and so on.

Language Of Barbarism

To use such a barbaric word like war so loosely in our language is not a sign of civilization. What is e.g. a war on poverty or a war on drugs? Is it not a war affecting some of our children and neighbors?
