PEOPLE OR EVENTS ?

DO PEOPLE OR EVENTS WRITE HISTORY? I HOPE IT'S NOT PEOPLE GOING FORWARD. THEY BEHAVE TODAY IRRESPONSIBLY IN THEIR USE OF WORDS. AND THE POWER "OF WORDS IS SUCH THAT THEY HAVE PREVENTED OUR LEARNING SOME OF THE MOST IMPORTANT EVENTS IN THE WORLD'S HISTORY," ACCORDING TO SIR NORMAN ANGELL A BRITISH WRITER OF THIS CENTURY. PEOPLE ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR VERBIAGE I HEARD THIS MORNING, WHICH WAS PURE MEANINGLESSNESS.

THE COMMON DENOMINATOR TO THE BUZZ WORDS WAS THEIR HIDDEN MEANINGS. BUT THEN A STRAIGHTFORWARD VOCABULARY WOULD HAVE REVEALED THE IMPOSSIBLE, IMPRACTICAL, IMMORAL OR IRRESPONSIBLE IDEA OR ACTION (LIKE A HIDDEN IMP) BEHIND EACH SOUND BITE.

REAL LIFE CALLS FOR REAL WORDS FROM REAL PEOPLE. AT THE BATTLE OF LAKE CHAMPLAIN ON SEPT. 10, 1814, A SAILOR CALLED ADMIRAL NELSON'S BATTLE AT TRAFALGAR A "MERE FLEABITE" COMPARED WITH THE BLOODY CONFLICT EVENTUALLY WON BY COMMODORE MACDONOUGH OF THE NEWLY MINTED UNITED STATES OF AMERICA. AT BASTOGNE IN 1944, DURING THE BATTLE OF THE BULGE IN WORLD WAR II, FOUGHT AGAINST FUHRER ADOLPH HITLER, BRIGADIER GENERAL MCAULIFFE ANSWERED THE GERMANS DEMAND FOR SURRENDER WITH THE FAMOUS WORD, "NUTS, " TO BE CONSTRUED IN ANY WAY THAT FIT.

MEN LIKE MACDONOUGH, NELSON, HITLER AND MCAULIFFE HAVE WRITTEN HISTORY; EVENTS LIKE MAJOR NAVAL AND LAND BATTLES TOO. BUT BUZZ WORDS TODAY HAVE NO POTENCY. THEY MERELY CAMOUFLAGE ACTIONS THAT AMERICANS SHOULD (AND WOULD?) NOT SUPPORT IF THEY KNEW WHAT THEY REALLY MEANT.
