Words matter

Every quarter, the State Department should identify the Top 10 hatemongers, excuse makers and truth tellers in the world. It wouldn’t be a cure-all. But it would be a message to the extremists: you are free to say what you want, but we are free to listen, to let the whole world know what you are saying and to protect every free society from hate spreaders like you. Words matter.
— Thomas Friedman, “Giving the Hatemongers No Place to Hide”
Sounds like a fair plan to me.
