THE DICTIONARY DEFINATION OF HEIROGLYPHICS-1. PICTURE OR SYMBOL STANDIN FOR A WORD, IDEA OR SOUND USED BY THE ANCIENT EGYPTIANS ETC. 2 ANY WRITING THAT USES HEIROGLYPHICS 3 A SECRET SYMBOL. MY DICTIONARY IS ALMOST AS OLD AS ME (THORNDIKE-BARNHART).
THIS IS A GOOD DEFINATION OF THE MODERN DAY "CONVENTIAL POLITICS" POLITICIANS WHO PAINT A WORD "PICTURE' WHICH HAS MANY MEANINGS DEPENDING WHO THE PAINTER IS. I WATCH A LOT OF C-SPAN COVERAGE OF THE HOUSE AND SENATE AND I FIND IT INTERESTING HOW 4 DIFFERENT POLITICIANS CAN EACH PAINT A DIFFERENT PICTURE OF AN ISSUE PRESENTING CONFLICTING CONCLUSIONS OF THE ISSUE.
ANOTHER ESSENTIAL ITEM NECESSARY IN CONVENTIAL POLITICS IS THE ABILITY TO TALK FOREVER ON ANY ISSUE WITHOUT CONTRIBUTING ANY BASIC, FACTUAL OR TRUTHFULL INFORMATION TO SUPPORT THE CONCLUSION OF THE SPEAKER.. A THIRD ESSENTIAL ITEM OF CONVENTIAL POLITICS TODAY, IS THE ABILITY TO DIVERT ATTENTION AWAY FROM AN OPPOSING VIEW OF THE ISSUE BY ATTACKING THE PERSONALITY WITH IMPLIED AND FALSE STATEMENTS STATEMENTS ABOUT ANYONE WHO REFUSES TO FALL IN LINE WITH A DISTORTED VIEW OF THE FACTS.
DOES CONGRESSSPEAK RESEMBLE HEIROGLYPHICS ???
ARE WE OVERDUE FOR A MAJOR OVERHAUL TO CONVENTIAL POLITICS ??
