Fact. When you control language, you control thought. When you control thought, you control society. When you control society, you control people's lives, people's behavior... you control history itself. If I seem overly concerned about terminology, about language, about rhetoric, about jokes, and about how the media portray certain issues and certain groups of people, this is why.
"Sticks and stones" is just a way of using language to stifle analysis and discount the very power of language on how people think, and thus on how they behave.
Don't be mistaken. Words break bones.
