cybercuzco's Journal: Terrorism = Bad stuff

Here we go again, polititians have corrupted a word such that it no longer means what it initially did. Like liberal, or "raise taxes" terrorism has a new meaning. Terrorism now means anything that is bad, and more importantly anything that is against administration policy. Voting against the bush homeland security bill is terrorism, in brasil, they call currency devaluation "economic terrorism" hacking is now "electronic terrorism" Fighting for the freedom of your people against a repressive regime is terrorism (see chechnya) These things are not terrorism. Terrorism is the actions of people or peoples to spread fear through a population in order to further a pollitical cause. Suicide bombings in israel are terroism. The DC sniper was terror-causing, but not terrorism, because it was not specifically designed to further a pollitical cause. Voting against bush is definetly not terrorism. Newscasters and polititians need to get a dictionary.
