In order that we might all raise the level of discourse and expand our language abilities, here is the daily post of word for the day. Rules: Everyone must leave a post using the word of the day; in a sentence. The sentence must, in some way, relate to the news of the day. The Review threads are linked for your edification. ;-) Practice makes perfect.....post on....
animadversion \an-uh-mad-VUR-zhun\, noun:
1. Harsh criticism or disapproval.
2. Remarks by way of criticism and usually of censure; adverse criticism; reproof; blame.
Etymology: Animadversion is from Latin animadversio, animadversion-, from animadversus, past participle of animadverto, animadvertere, to turn the mind toward, from animus, mind, spirit + adverto, advertere, to turn toward, from ad, toward + verto, vertere, to turn.

Hope you two feel better.

Hope you lose the cold post haste.
This computer won't let me post to you, so everytime I try, my comments get shorter.
Let's see if this one transmits.

I remembered that you had this poem on your homepage, but I had forgotten your wonderful admonition at the end. Bravo, Rika!
First They Came for the Jews
First they came for the Jews
and I did not speak out
because I was not a Jew.
Then they came for the Communists
and I did not speak out
because I was not a Communist.
Then they came for the trade unionists
and I did not speak out
because I was not a trade unionist.
Then they came for me
and there was no one left
to speak out for me.
Pastor Martin Niemöller
The truth of this poem is self evident. In today's society, you can switch out any combination of who "they" came for and the poem will still be true.
Are you going to speak out, or stay silent?
