I just watched Fox News’ run on the “grumpy cat”.  I stopped listening when I heard the owner of the cat back track the idea that the cat was fat.  You could hear a subtle panic in her voice as she made sure we understood that the cat wasn’t fat.  What in the world is wrong with a fat cat?  It’s not that the cat is fat or not.  It’s simply the implication that the owner isn’t responsible.  And who cares?  Those in power care, huh?  They’re spreading fear of using certain words.  How long till “Christian” becomes the most legally changed name in the court system?

When the dictionary becomes suspect, we’re all in trouble.  When perception rules as the law of the land, where can a man run for justice?  And where there is corruption of reality, violence is not far behind.
