Killed.
No, I'm not tripping out here. Please bear with me.
I think it's probably the most awful word in the English language. How many of you pay attention to the news crawl on CNN? Have you noticed how often that word appears on there?
55 Iraqi civilians were killed.....
7 US soldiers were killed....
7 Coalition soldiers were killed....
15 insurgents were killed.....
10 Taliban fighters were killed....
It seems to be a very popular word in the 21st century. We see it/hear it all the time. All this death and destruction.
Kill. Killed. Kills. Killing.
I hate that word.
