Which terms don't get used/abused; we're constantly depreciating our language and our thoughts.

But the use of "Nazi", "Hitler", "fascism" is ubiquitous; It's seared on the front of all our brains. It's a favorite cliché of high school debaters, for example. "There comes Hitler again," say the judges.

Brandishing those terms, however, is done by right and left; and the counting of corpses is done from both sides of the political spectrum, but only of the corpses created by their opponents.

We DO need to look at our own offenses. And at our own blinders. Think, rethink, and then, think again.
