FoxReplace

Did it ever happen that you couldn't stand a word or a phrase? Just don't like the ring of it, or the associations? Would it be nice to just replace all these expressions with things that we experience as more honest? I googled this three minutes ago and, flash! there it was: I found a Firefox plugin today that does just that: FoxReplace. Works like a charm. There are options to auto replace on page load, replace HTML or URLs, and it comes with a mechanism to match any URL like "http://*.example.net/| ". Here are a few words that I am replacing in order to make my news websites digestible:

• worker > slave
• NRA > gun fanatics
• growth > expansion at all costs
• capitalism > planetary rape
• banker > wanker
• the system > the corrupt system

You get the idea. And because words have an aura and when we read them often enough, they shape our world, this could be a small but meaningful contribution in the fight against the system. I think this is an awesome plugin ;-
