        not sure why this article uses the f-slur completely uncensored (or at all). poor taste and totally unnecessary.

        Context is important. If they were glorifying it's use I could see it being in poor taste. But the idea that the word may never be written uncensored seems a little childish.

        Reframed by hindsight, US independence was a revolt against any constitutional moderation of the right of the powerful to exploit the weak.

        Cuz the revolution was all about the powerful not being able to govern the weak unjustly.

        That's worked out well, hasn't it? I think every new generation needs to assert it's right to those hard-won freedoms.
