Back during the 1960s it used to be thought clever to assert that the adjective "military" was one of the language's great prevaricators, as in "military intelligence" and "military music". These days individuals such as Weaselly Clark, Merrill McPeake, and the Cabal Generals suggest there may be some truth in the former. But as for the latter - ever listened to the Rakoczi March? So much for 1960s wit.

If you want a real verbal prevaricator. I nominate the word "social" as in "social studies", or even worse, "social justice". "Social justice" is not only an oxyumoron, but two lies contradicting each other. And this thought links the 1960s with our own era, via the "bridge of sorrows" named Bill Ayers. Weather Undergroundsman, and traitor extraordinaire. Vomited up during the 1960s, he still has not been cleaned up, and smells as bad as ever. You may continue reading about our Ayers polution problem here.

Social and justice are two words which never go together unless you're describing Nino Scalia with a drink in his hand.

Next time we may consider that other oxymoron "public works", generally completed by moronic oxen.

A tip of the helmet to John van Laer.
