That's an old quarrel, and I don't think it can ever be won, since one
side is arguing etymology and the other is arguing social justice. In
this latest skirmish, then, I would merely point out
that the question solicited a catchy slogan for a public event, and Chuck
D.'s political aphorism is indeed catchy, although its real significance
is greater than catchiness. I'd choose Chuck D. over the Ministry of Truth
any day, by the way.
