Quote 170 of 495

Community is another word often best cut out. Not only is it usually
unnecessary, it purports to convey a sense of togetherness that may
well not exist. The black community means blacks, the business
community means businessmen, the homosexual community means
homosexuals, the intelligence community means spies, the international
community, if it means anything, means other countries, aid agencies
or, just occasionally, the family of nations.
