- future_grad 13y agoI am okay with anyone labeling him anything that they want. Some say he is a hero and some say he is a traitor...what does it matter?
- rhizome 13y agoIt matters that people closer to the locus of power in the US use language so imprecisely.

- future_grad 13y agoImprecisely? It is a matter of perspective.
- rhizome 13y agoYou should define your "it"'s here, but words don't enter into slang by themselves.
- future_grad 13y agoSome will say he is a hero. Some will say he is a traitor. Someone is not imprecise because you disagree with something they consider to be a truth; It is a matter of perspective.
