been hearing an old word being used in a new way a lot recently - another divisive rather than endearing term - another way to make sweeping generalizations - to distinguish one from another - to diminish for the sake of elevating ones’ own stature or belief - another word that defines wrong rather than difference - it avoids resolve and self evaluation - it avoids profanity, yet provides the same result - it comes in five easy-to-manage letters that are hard to forget ...
and the word is - [after a somewhat curious, anticipating pause] - ‘toxic’ - yep, [of or relating to poison - hazardous; an antigenic venom; a foreign substance that produces an immune response] ...
just another way to avoid looking at the cause ...
