Communicating

"Maybe humans are just the pet alligators that God flushed down the toilet."

It is important to communicate.  And it is important to build community.  I do believe, however that we can be sensitive in how we communicate with our communities.

For instance, the phrases "flushing hydrants" and "dark water alert" are gross together.  Flushing?  Really.  Couldn't it just be "rinsing" or "clearing" or "cleaning?"  Nope.  They're going to be flushing the dark water.

At least they put out an alert.
