I really want to understand how this isn't just about a word. Sorry if this sounds aggressive; trying to listen.
@DNLee5@OtherSociology
@NFQblog Hi. No it's not just about a word. Read @DNLee5's article. http://blogs.scientificamerican.com/urban-scientist/2015/03/26/when-discussing-humanitys-next-move-to-space-the-language-we-use-matters/ … More on why it's important http://othersociologist.com/2015/03/28/rethinking-the-narrative-of-mars-colonisation/ …

@OtherSociology@DNLee5 I read both already. Your post said "not just semantics" which is why I phrased that way. Seems like the word (1/2) -
@OtherSociology@DNLee5 "colonize" recalls historical colonies which were bad bc of impact on indigenous ppl. Not a worry on Mars, I think? -
@OtherSociology@DNLee5 Of course I have LOTS of concerns about how space explor/settlemt is done. Don't want to just "use up" next planet. -
@OtherSociology And I think it is BEYOND bizarre that ppl responded to@DNLee5's tweets by defending indefensible Manifest Destiny etc.
