I really love how the press mutated the word "terrorist", it used to mean people who cause terror, but now it simply refers to people who don't agree with the media or the government.
- Retric 16y agoI think the term always implied people who don't agree with your viewpoint. People in the rarely call their own military "terrorists" even though they are more than willing to cause both terror and massive death. PS: I would much rather the term not simply mutate into yet another name for evil / bad people, but good luck fighting that fight.
