This week's theme: words about war. polemology (po-luh-MOL-uh-jee) noun The science and study of human conflict and war. [From Greek, polemos (war) + -logy (study).] -Anu Garg (gargATwordsmith.org) "Polemology begins, in other words, with a frank recognition of the overpowering superiority of the strong over the weak, and thus of the likelihood of defeat."

The boy walked like a thief, looked like a thief, and spoke like a thief. But the man found his ax while digging in the valley, and the next time he saw his neighbor's son, the boy walked, looked and spoke like any other child. -Lao-tzu, philosopher (6th century BCE) Our privacy policy: AWAD mailing list addresses are never sold, rented, leased, traded, swapped, exchanged, or bartered.
