I have resorted to reading the NY Times on Sundays and have online subscriptions of the Washington Post and read other publications that I can find time and money for. Last Sunday's NY Times Sunday Magazine ran its regular column of William Safire on Language, Hide and Seek. The article was about the use of the jargon of children's games as metaphor for war, the use of nuclear weapons, the 'game' that Saddam is playing, etc. Interesting to note that no one was using the jargon used for children's behavior to describe the fearful behavior of the grownups involved. I find a lot of things that I hear from the government amazing, thoughtless, and foolish. One thing I never thought I'd hear from our government is a need for a preemptive strike against another country. Thanks for the opportunity to share my opinion. I'll get off my soap box now and get in out of the rain, jansapp007@msn.com
