and here they are, chicklets:
Towards:
as in "Moving towards a deliberative democracy"; "Towards a New Laocoon" and other foolish uses of the preposition by cerebral types who 1) can't stand the notion that things have a tendency to center; 2) think that towards means never getting to that center (because everything is destabilized now that Lacan, Foucault & Derrida are back en vogue in academia); 3) like to think that is something is towards, it isn't finally, but in development. >>>WHAT FREAKING EVER<<< The only towards I'm thinking of is the preposition that comes directly before the phrase "the white light" and follows the words "don't go"
Alienation:
yep, marginalization's ugly aftermath. This term can be used by post-colonial apologists, but never when referring to illegal aliens.
Oppression:
it's a big nasty world out there. What happens in this country isn't oppression, though it is repression.
