Re: The definition of genocide

I'd like to see someone take a poll of how many in Congress (or in any policy-making position) can actually accurately outline the definition of genocide as laid out in "The Convention." The problem arises exactly when a jargon becomes mainstream, but through that very process the meaning of the word itself changes.

Case in point: The definition of the word "rational", as understood and used by economists, is very different from most people's casual use of the word.

PS. Matt Bastard? Really??? That's awesome. I wish someone had that last name.
