Words Count

Nobody asked but …

Today I saw a huge, black SUV, and its model name was “Armada?”  I am very sorry to see this completely irrelevant bandying about of words that stem from war.  And I suppose the mammoth, black SUV fad was started by Blackwater and the fighting-for-democracy bunch otherwise known as neo-cons.  I should rephrase that to the urging-others-to-fight-for-democracy crowd.  Why don’t we just start referring to massive, black SUVs and UVs as the Hun, the Pillager, the Rapist, the Genocider, the Collateral Damager, if we feel so comfortable with the Darth Vader meme, with the Empire striking preemptively (not back)?
