1. Well done piece
Saved it as a document to study later. As an amateur linguist I'm fascinated by this type of "Mental Masturbation."

2. That's a good piece
Good stuff in there. One being, the empty language. It's why you don't try to debate or defeat an abuser. You just pick up and move forward. They can change and come along, or get left in the dust. It really is the only thing that works.

3. I don't think Bush is capable of that sort of intricat verbal manipulation
Edited on Sat May-07-05 06:14 PM by Malva Zebrina
I think him too stupid to ever sit down and write that. Someone else is writing his speeches and that person is indeed, evil. He merely reads, like his insipid wife, what is placed before him. If questioned on any of it, he is, literally dumbfounded because he did not write it in the first place so therefore the strict control over what is ever asked of him in any situation. Truly, he is a very dumb and ignorant man.

6. It's evident that bu$h* loves to use that pronoun "I"
which pops up in about every sentence he speaks (proving his narcissistic personality).
