Laura says that words are only descriptions of the problem, not the
problem itself, so we need not be concerned about using the words.
Her example, however, uses a word which is not a description
of the problem at all, but in fact helps to create the problem by
creating divisive images of classes of people and therefore
setting the stage for treating some people as less than human.
Words are not just descriptions--words have powerful effects
on the world.
