Take as a given that both Newsweek and the rioters are in the wrong. I say the principle is "stick and stones may break my bones, but words can never hurt me."

With all due respect, this is not a principle, it is a false saying. Words are in fact far more powerful than sticks and stones. They are the foundation of thought which serves as the womb of manifestation.

We wouldn't be having this discussion if all the rioters had done was shout outrage.
