He who controls: " The Common Everyday Language " - ultimately, controls all of the people who use it!

Are Words really being utilized as Weapons?
One of the first things that I learned, was the fact that people can often be quite passionately motivated by The Words That Others Choose... and, most frequently of all, It Is Just Eloquent Doublespeak!

Take, for instance, the statement: " At [ CompanyX ], Our Most Valuable Assets Have Always Been Our Own Hard Working Employees " - which, most frequently, engenders a strong positive reaction from those hardworking and underpaid associates who do all of the work for those companies.

The Best Deceptions are Always Very Subtle!
Now, most of us would never notice anything wrong with this statement... because, our own understanding of The English Language is pretty much limited to our own time spent utilizing it since grade school.

However, whether we realize it or not, The Carefully Chosen Word Of Asset has a very specific meaning that many of us have ( quite honestly ) never even considered.

According to Dictionary.com:
" Asset:
An Item Of Ownership [ or, valuable property ] that is convertible into cash; the total resources of a person ( or business ) as in: Real Property, Buildings, EquipmentMachinery, Fixtures, Inventory, Cash, Promissory Notes, and Accounts Receivable - as, opposed to liabilities. "

And, whether we believe it or not, ' The Average Hourly Employee Really Is Their Own Valuable Asset '... since: Those Wages Have Remained Relatively Flat Over The Last 40 Years while Their Corporate Profitability Has Soared To New Record Heights.

In fact, thanks to something called Monetary Inflation, ' The Average American Blue Collar Worker Is Now Earning Around 50 Cents Per Hour In 1975 Dollars '... and, that is precisely why, The Economy Is Now So Seriously Broken!
