My personal view is that the war on DoubleSpeak was lost when we allowed Ronnie Rayguns & Co. to name a weapon of mass destruction "The Peacekeeper." If we had risen up and slaughtered a few hundred politicians at that time, then mental freedom would have had a slim chance of survival.
Well, considering there was a .45 revolver named either "Peace keeper" or "Peace Maker" in the late 1800's or early 1900's, I don't think you can blame RR&c for that.
Well, not to pick nits, but it was the peace maker, and it's name is appropriate. AFAIK, the Peace Maker was intended primarily for LEAs. You go into a warlike situation, then shoot people until there's peace. No logical holes there. However, the premise that a large nuke will keep some 3rd world dictator from lobbing some Exocets at your ships is, well, provably false. What, me on topic? never!
