Man Commits Suicide at DLH

[innerSpaceman]

To play the semantics game a little further, I posit that people with cancer do have a weakness. We just won't be rude enough to say so. But if an antelope had cancer, that would be a weakness that might get them picked off by a puma. We just don't particularly care about hurting the antelope's feelings, so we call a spade a spade.

Funny how the same word, weakness, can tend to imply some sort of personal failing when we apply it to a human. But it's possible for Morigoon to have meant it, as she said, in very clinical terms. Too bad so many words are freighted with human judgment. They needn't be.



Oh, except for "The Easy Way Out." That comes with judgment included free.
