Title: Didn't read it, but that title ...
Review: As a Vietnam vet who served his country for 4 years and his community (as a volunteer for a public agency aiding the mentally disabled) for years afterword, I am sick unto death of being called a "treasonous liberal" for being in favor of a balanced budget, preservation of natural resources, reluctance to go to war, expanded health care, to name a few of my "left wing" ideals.From Webster's Unabridged:Liberal: One who advocates greater freedom of thought or actionConservative: Tending to preserve old institutions, methods, customs, and the like.The terms are not opposites! They are not about socialism, capitalism, "left" or "right", pro- or anti- anything. If we are to take a book seriously, the debate has to contain words of meaning."The basic tool for the manipulation of reality is themanipulation of words. If you can control the meaning of words,you can control the people who must use the words."(Philip K. Dick)
