Effective & Honest Communication Matters Everywhere But Politics - 1/20/18

Communicating honestly & effectively produces wonderful results in romantic, business & social interactions.  Only in politics is the reverse tolerated. Here's what a politician would call a spade: "It's a one person operated, foot-powered implement of wooden-metallic composition designated primarily though by no means exclusively for use in agricultural, horticultural, & constructional activities for purposes of carrying out such excavational tasks as may  be designated by supervisory grades."  Why I would eliminate and ban the use of these meaningless slurs: Anti-Semite, Homophobe, Racist, Sexist, & Capitalist. My answer to a young friend's worry that "Trump will get us into a war."
