this feels like a Roger Bannister four minute mile moment for "reactionary centrism". a level of reactionary centrism doctors (of political science) assured us was impossible but that training, dedication, ingenuity, and the Indomitable human spirit were determined to overcome

I recommend reading about how the concentration camp was used by the British in the Second Boer War and you'll see why it is impossible not to use the term about what is happening here if you are being accurate and honest
On the heels of this post last night, I wrote about using the term "concentration camp" and why it matters.

If this was a poll the seven people who liked it would have probably voted! That's enough to swing my indecision!

For a mixture of theological and gender reasons I'm considering changing the honorific for United Syncretic's ministers.
I like the idea of using a gender-neutral term for aunt/uncle. What's your favorite?
My top options so far are "Parsib" and "Ommer".
