"Juveniles", "Youths", "Teens", and "Kids" ... Journalistic code for ... well, you know who "they" are... Welcome to the Jungle

I once saw a video shot through the viewfinder of an American tank in Iraq. Inside the tank the video starts with a fire control officer in the tank looking directly into the camera who introduces himself as Jimmy Pop. The next thing you hear is “fire” and though the viewer you see Iraqi tank turret after Iraqi tank turret just “pop” off the top of the tanks. The camera then returns to the face of the fire control officer in the tank. He has a broad grin on his face. He then starts singing the chorus of Fire, Water, Burn (the actual song from which this is the chorus is irrelevant, the chorus is relevant in context) as you continue to see direct hits on Iraqi tanks from the American tank cannon with several coup de grâce delivered by A-10 Warthogs.

Maybe ChIraq needs a Jimmy Pop to cruise the streets in an armed APC and straighten out the “youths”. … because in case folks in Chicago haven’t noticed … one way or another Operation ChIraqi Storm is coming soon …

Next thing you know, the word “juveniles” will have a stigma, and they’ll have to come up with something else because apparently words have been secretly controlling behavior all along.

… more “youth”, “teens”, “juveniles” and “kids” …
