ever since the imus comments and the tirades and pseudo conversations that followed, there has been serious discussion about words. more accurately, about censorship. the reasoning in these otherwise thinking individuals is that words have power. true. if words didn’t have power poets wouldn’t string them together to describe love and non fiction writers wouldn’t […]
