One of the verbal tics that's most in evidence now is the catechismal insertion of the adjective senseless before the word violence. What kind of violence was it, Mister President? Sensless violence. You see, when you are the plenipotentiary of the world's foremost death machine, when you are ordering, literally every day, the killing of human beings, the destruction of homes, the bombing of farms and factories, then obviously you can't just go out and condemn violence. You have to condemn "senseless" violence. You can't condemn killing. You have to condemn pointless killing.
The American Government, plenipotentiaried by a constitutional scholar who promised to lead the most transparent administration ever and to support whistleblowers, has now been brutally caging Bradley Manning for 500 hundred days for the alleged "crime" of exposing government crimes. While major newspapers are proposing Manning as their Nobel Peace Prize nominee, the actual Nobel Peace Prize winner caging him employs a secret government committee that puts Americans on kill lists, refuses to show any evidence to even attempt to justify their murderous plans, then sends killer flying robots to execute the hits on men (who totally said bad things!). And probable innocence is clearly no obstacle government machinery of death.
Help me make sense of this!
