Renewable words

Most of us elegible for the privilage of higher education are well aware that we have been emersed in the postmodern era for a while now. This means that words can be tweaked and questioned to no end, which of course means that their attached meanings can also be tweaked to no end. Yippee, you may think, what fun! But, if you look at the trends in legislation you can see that this play in language is being used by dark forces to disguise the impending doom for habitats and economies that are held within the text.
Take a look at the "Clean Air Act" that somehow allows companies to get away with more pollution or the "Free Trade" agreements that are being shoved down the throats of most developing contries that equate to nothing less than subjecting the people of those countries to slavelike labor conditions.
Look at solar panels being portrayed as "Alternative Energy". Excuse me, but I think the sun has been fueling every single function on this planet (at least) since, well, long enough to not be called alternative.
Maybe we should rethink our idea of what the words "inside" and "outside" mean. Doesn't our current use of these words mean that we belong cut-off in our little walled habitats. Shouldn't outside signify that which is further from our roots? Shouldn't inside mean that we are living next to the life sustaining ingredients; water, air, and food?
It is worth looking at a way to subvert the subversion. Let's make an effort to turn what's inside-out back to outside-in!
