It isn't a bad word. Don't change the text. Change the attitude with more judicial engagement in enforcing existing, critical constitutional features — in particular: federalism.

MOREJohn Stossel: First Jobs
What was your first job? I stuck pieces of plastic and metal together at an Evanston, Ill., assembly line. We produced photocopiers for a company called American Photocopy. I hated the work.

Thomas Sowell: Are Race Riots News?
Clever demagogues and gullible followers make toxic combo. When I first saw a book with the title, "White Girl Bleed A Lot" by Colin Flaherty, I instantly knew what it was about, even though I had not seen the book reviewed anywhere, and knew nothing about the author. That is because I had encountered that phrase before, while doing research ... MOREI'm Finally Leaving America's Crazed Police State
by David Seaman. Dudes, I'm done with this. I'm leaving the United States today, and won't be back for a while.

A new chart set to be released by the Republican side of the Senate Budget Committee details an alarming fact: In the last three months, more Americans have joined disability than have found a job. As the chart shows, between April-June 2012, an estimated 246,000 Americans were added to Social Security's disability insurance program.
