It's illuminating because the extreme opinion do this same thing with words. Splitting hairs, to always find a shape that fits their need. Because their intentions don't require words, just control and emotions. It also has a strong reminder for me, my grandfather's mom was just a baby on her mother's back during the events of Wounded Knee. The events of a single day have the power to remain for generations. permalink fedilink source parent
