Trigger Words

It used to be whole books that triggered responses in people.  Then essays, then poems, then sentences.   Now it's come down to words and by extension, thoughts.

Here is my top ten list of trigger words

1. Fair/fair share
2. Justice/injustice
3. equal/inequality
4. white privilege
5. racist
6. undocumented
7. denier
8. sexist
9. radical
10. Trigger word

It's ironic that the progressives (another trigger word for me) use these words the most frequently.   I assume it is to foment unrest in their base constituencies by branding anyone who does not bow to their beliefs as somehow morally deficient.

Enough for now.
