Your article brought back memories. I lived in Guatemala, and the scariest person I ever met was a member of the G2. The G2 was a government agency tasked with controlling the drugs going through Guatemala. His job started on Monday in a briefing. On Tuesday, he was dropped into a drug house where they killed everyone (women and children included). The rest of the week was detoxing from what he had done.

Sometimes the only appropriate description is just a drawn-out "fuuuuuck." I don't understand why we ban books and give words so much power. Especially when you very aptly pointed out there are so many worse things that our fear of "naughty words" or uncomfortable situations prevents us from discussing. Thank you for articulating this so well.
