(It may load slow, probably because it’s being hit hard after being BoingBoinged. Almost like being SlashDotted.)
The word “terrorism” standout like a solar flare in Shrub’s history of words used. Interesting, “appropriation” was used a lot, a lot, during the 19th century and into the 20th. A lot. It’s an interesting site to play around with.
