    For as long as I can remember, everybody uses phrases such as fight crime. This is a cop-out because it depersonalizes the fact that it is real people who commit those crimes.

    I suggest that instead we should be saying fight criminals.

  4. @Wyatt — You make a good point. Just the other day I saw one of those wild AR-15 packs marching through a black neighborhood. They were goose-stepping and had swastikas on their slings. Every now and then they’d stop and shoot at people, especially at tattooed 22-year-old children. Terrible, terrible!
