Rhetoric on both sides. Informational IEDs?
- DanielBMarkham 16y agoYou know, I hated to add the last part to my comment, but it just didn't look right being a one-liner. It wasn't meant to be a snarky point, but a serious one: it's a very nice turn of a phrase. It's neat how we invent new phrases to couch certain concepts either pro or con. I love language and the study of how we communicate. Watching little phrases like this appear and then either grow or die (to me) is extremely fascinating. EDIT: A terrific example of this is the oldie "mistakes were made" Note how the sentence actually has no subject -- "mistakes" seem to have made themselves. Cool stuff.
