9-11, give me a break.

So lets just continue our blissful and exploitive commercialism? Not like that has anything to do with other peoples in the world wanting to harm us...

As much as I despised the Bush administration that's just an appeal to carry on as normal. I really don't see anything wrong with that.

But there have been Orwellian moments. The day of the attack or on the day after, Bush gave a speech on ground zero talking about "the folks who did it" will hear from all of us. Our tv even pointed the sloppy term of "folks" out in the simultaneous translation. In later rehashes of the same scene "folks" had been replaced by "guys". I never heard the original again. Maybe someone managed to capture it, but I've yet to see it again.

And that's part of the problem.


I don't really see much a difference between "folks" and "guys" beside a possible backward reference to German people. Why does it stick out for you?
