Dear CNN,

The US presidential election race between senators McCain and Obama is not a "battleground". Battlegrounds are where people get killed. Using the same words for what passes as democracy in this country as for the military massacres in foreign countries is incredibly sad and disgusting.

That, and it's only vaguely less stupid than Toronto's "War on Fire".

I believe the original poster has a valid point here. There's nuance beyond what is in the dictionary, and failure to comprehend that makes you look like you failed WR095 in college.
