[sudo-discuss] Unabridged Newspeak Dictionary

[danarauz at gmail.com]

Hi Torrie,

With good intention I downloaded and installed the Chrome extension so that
I could check it out and possible give you some feedback.

Well, when reading the extension information I was quickly shocked that the
example shown says that the word "Terrorists" gets replaced by the phrase
"The Nation of Eastasia".

That is a big turn off for me, because at least in my mind it implies that
all people in East Asia are terrorists. And that is a very awful thing to
say or support.

I deleted the extension.

Daniel
