Now pedophilia can mean fucking a 16 year old (I guess my dad was one since he was 21 and my mom was 16 when I was born), weapons of mass destruction means biological weapons (so I guess the Germans had "weapons of mass destruction back in WW1 when they were using mustard gas in warfare), and rape now pretty much just means having sex with anybody.
I HATE the fucking govt. Those are just 3 of the examples that have been in the news lately. And of course the use of those 3 words pushes emotional buttons on all of us. I get pissed off and want to kill a "pedophile", I get scared when I hear of "weapons of mass destruction", and I'm ready to hang a "rapist".
That's the smart way that the govt. is working now. They tried getting right in everyones face in the 1960's but that shit didn't work.
This is much more subtle and seems to work like a charm.
