Words to Boycott in 2010


It's been said he who controls the language, controls the argument; or something like that. That being said there is a growing list of words I'm going to do my best to boycott. These words are ideological tools which when used, heard or read with regularity serve the same purpose as repeating the big lie. You know, tell a lie often enough and before long a large segment of society, like sheeple, will believe it.

Here is a partial list of the over-used words that annoy and bore me: (in no particular order)

green
eco (eco anything...although I do like the term "eco-freak")
environmental
sustainability
pandemic
greenhouse gases
bio fuel
recycle
rain forest
sustainability
CO2
holistic
global warming
climate change
carbon credits
carbon footprint
regulatory
sustainability
biodegradable
biodiversity
bio-anything
non-renewable
toxic
over population
smart cars
earth day
swine flu
H1N1
crisis
Did I mention sustainability?

In fact there are so many irritating, politically correct, eco-words, you would have to destroy an entire rain forest just to print the list. And that just wouldn't be sustainable!
