+**This glossary exists for archival purposes only**. I am keeping it around only so old journal entry's links don't break. I won't link to it in any new journal entries. Here are my reasons:
+
+* Using uncommon definitions of words to suit a personal agenda is best suited to propaganda, not thoughtful analysis
+* Using uncommon definitions of words probably causes confusion
+* Some of my "definitions" amount to mere name-calling, which isn't what this journal is supposed to be about
+* Some of the terms I've defined don't even show up in any journal entries
+* Being forced to follow links to figure out what someone's words mean is annoying
+* If I want to use a word I invented or an uncommon definition of an existing word, I can just define said word inline

## Alien
The word alien carries a negative connotation of strangeness. It should not be used to describe unauthorized immigrants.
