>going to use a charged word

I honestly have no clue what word you used was 'charged'. Considering any of those words charged makes me worry how far political correctness has gone! (I'm assuming, I suppose, politically charged?)

“Genocidal” is charged because it projects human morality onto non-human animals. It’s about basic scientific hygiene, not political correctness.

    That’s not why genocidal is a charged word in my opinion.

    It’s because it implies that genocide has always been, and will always be, a reality humans will all too frequently find them selves having to contend with.

    An aspect of our evolutionary success that will haunt us always, at least while its not busy being indulged in.
