so tempted to comment, but it's way more fun to read everyone's interpretation of what 'happened'...

Between National Boundaries

Ricky: Do you think national boundaries, nationalism and the misunderstanding of them have anything to do with the biggest conflicts and losses of the 20th century? Read "Imagined Communities" by Benedict Anderson and then you might just feel like the naive one. And, yes, I have a family. They are both Mexican AND American.

"Ghetto" is Not an Adjective

I have the feeling this blog article has little to do with Mathematical equations or English grammar. It seems to be addressing the pervasive use of the word "ghetto" as an adjective and the negative effects this might have on those who view it both internally and externally. Orwell clearly warned us of language manipulation and the influence of propaganda. For instance, if we continuously use a word like "collateral damage" instead of directly speaking about dead innocent civilians-- men, women, and children-- then we might become desensitized and silently compliant with a policy of bombing foreign cities. Maybe the widespread trend of describing dirty, ugly, or smelly things as "ghetto" won't have a noticeably negative impact on American culture. Maybe it will. We don't know.
