Something to be grateful for.

Bingo. It is just words. Tools used to communicate. Some use them more 
purposefully, more intentionally than others. Sometimes they can have 
enormous effect.

I tend to agree with you that cursing is usually born of a frustrating 
inability to express what is really going on. I also agree that it 
generally inhibits the flow of ideas rather than nourishing them. The 
difference between us seems to be that I believe others can and will 
figure all that out without the government commanding "YOU CAN'T 
HEAR/SEE/THINK THIS."

I think my worst fear is missing an idea that could flourish into 
something remarkable, maybe even earthshaking. Pissant terrorism can't 
hold a candle to that. Even the Loma Prieta earthquake wasn't as 
nightmarish (and it was pretty frickin' scary).

Maybe it is, sometimes. Maybe it is just one of many.

Damn straight. Good for you.
