4. Tonight on NOW there was an excellent segment on the power
of words. The expert said for us Dems to start re-naming Bush's mis-named policies. For an example, he said that Healthy Forests should be called Forest Destruction every time we mention it. Clear Skies becomes Polluted Skies, etc. Let's give it a go!

8. True
I try not to swear but it's hard not to talk with a load of "ain't's" and "goin'", "leavin'", etc since it's how I was brought up to speak.

11. I disagree. They judge you by the clothes you wear and the
attitude and self-esteem you show when the words come out of your mouth. Same in business promotions. It's not how good you are, it's how good you convince everyone you are.
