Thread Name: BS: The Perfect Euphemism
Subject: RE: BS: The Perfect Euphemism
Why is it that sometimes the powers that be won't spend the $$ to test & find out if certain populations are indeed infected, but see fit to take the easy road of killing entire populations, aka: restort to "neutralizing", "depopulating," "ridding the world of _____"(choose your fav nasty ethnic slur), "doing the planet a favor," "making the world a safer place," "saving us from them," etc. & etc. Many of my ancestors lost their lives due to such depopulating as well as forced removal.

Dave the Gnome--I played the Baritone Horn in college marching band, then was handed an Euphonium at the college where I transferred to, but I didn't like it. I liked the old Baritone better! But as a Voice major, I sang a kinda wierd & fun song cycle about a Euphonium dancing & such. maybe if the politicians were busy with Music, they wouldn't be so quick to depopulize animals &/or humans.
