I leave you this fine evening with a column by Mark Hyman. I am convinced that the word "torture" should be expelled from our vocabulary. It used to refer to the infliction of severe bodily pain, such as the breaking of bones and the removal of fingernails. Many progressives now use it to refer to anything unpleasant, intimidating, insulting, offensive, or frightening.
