Trust me, they use both, and "murdered" is not an infrequent term. But we're just splitting hairs. :) > I know sacred isn't a metaphor but it isn't a dangerous word either > even when you think it is misused. Do you seriously believe that? Do you think you could explain that to the family of Theo Van Gogh, the Dutch film director who was shot eight times, stabbed, and partially decapitated explicitly because he dared criticise Islamic sacred texts? *Any* religious imagery or language can be dangerous. That's what makes it so powerful. -- -pcg [email protected] -- dadl-ot mailing list http://mail.thehood.us/mailman/listinfo/dadl-ot_thehood.us http://news.gmane.org/gmane.music.dadl.ot -- dadl-ot mailing list http://mail.thehood.us/mailman/listinfo/dadl-ot_thehood.us http://news.gmane.org/gmane.music.dadl.ot
