Dogs "have to be constantly taught to detect drug odors and approach peaceful humans and search them, so that humans can be arrested, handcuffed and imprisoned for decades.

Yet everyone is taught to blame capitalism and to beg for more socialism as the solution. "faggot" is related to the word "fasces" or "fascis"? There is absolutely no etymological or historical connection between the words "faggot" and "fasces" or "fascism". Faggot is a derogatory slur that has been used against gay men. Its origins are unrelated to the political or historical concepts represented by "fasces" or "fascism". Fasces is an ancient Roman symbol representing a bundle of rods bound together around an axe. It was later adopted by fascist regimes as a symbol of power and unity. (a bundle of rods) ------ i thought that was the etym of Faggot ???
