The Era of Rhetoric

We are living in the "Era of Rhetoric."

Leaders don't admit what their true motives are. Politicians say one thing and do another. The military prides itself on secret keeping, so anything they say is propaganda. Big business does the least possible to protect it's workers and (honestly) minimum wage means "if we could pay you less, we would."

How do we get accountability? When will transparency catch on as the only workable solution for world problems? Who will make honesty cool?

Barack Obama is slowly becoming the best political strategist the US presidency has ever known...but it's all about feints and counter feints...because right now, that's the only way to maneuver within this political landscape of meaningless words. I love my president, as I love my country, but is this it?

How do we, The People, command respect?
