>>>Not sure whether Evil Doers should be hyphenated<<<

Every time I look at television, I see pharmaceutical commercials. I've noticed that everything is getting an acronym. For example, I think I heard one about enlarged prostates. I cannot remember the acronym but it was something like EPN. Then there is restless leg syndrome--I think--and its RLS--I think. Anyway, we can shorten evil-doers or evil doers to EDs.

However, there is a problem with Evil Things. We don't want to use ETs on its own. I suggest War on Evil Things, War on Evil Doers (WETWED). Washington would go for it in a big way. A declaration of WETWED. No one would know what just happened. Additionally, you could not declare many WETWEDs back to back since it is nearly impossible to say WETWED, WETWED, WETWED, WETWED, WETWED and pronounce it correctly.

There is the matter of Peace if we can find an ED and get the ED to quit. However, we should have a place for peace in our diplomatic bag if it is ever needed. How about:

Peace in our Time (PIOT) (pronounced Pieottt)
Peace for our Time (PFOT) (pronounced PeeeFottt)
Peace with Honor (PEWIHO) (pronounced Peeweehoe)

How's that for lemonade?
