Just So You Know « Stuff Important to Me »

Anyone who ever uses the term "Speaking Truth to Power" in my presence will automatically lose all credibility on just about any issue imaginable. Forever.

WTF does that even mean?

The burr du jour under my saddle is any form of the phrase 'to reach out.' As soon is I bump into that in an article, I stop reading. The only instance of non-purile 'reaching out' is in the Sistine Chapel. All else is treacle.

SaaM,
Exactly!
Gary,
I've got a bunch of 'em. "To reach out" is a worthy addition to my list. Thanks.

I'm with SaaM -- I don't even know what the heck it means.

Reach out and speak truth to power as a means of facilitating synergistic energy FOR THE CHILDREN!

While simultaneously visualising world peace. Er, 'giving peace a chance', I mean. Or is it, 'having a plan to win the peace' ? I get confused, it's all too nuanced for me.

Oh yes, that's much better:

Reach out and speak truth to power as a means of facilitating synergistic energy while visualising world peace and a plan to win that peace FOR THE CHILDREN!

I'm like BASF: "I don't make the good comments...I make the good comments better."
