Glittering generalities

Glittering generalities are an advertising technique but they about today in political speech and religious sermonizing. " There's a lot of gravity in this moment."  When I read this, I recognized useless words. The negotiations between China and us over Ukraine also reflected empty rhetoric. And a religious inspiration contained a prayer for "those who suffer through the harsh commands of others." Can't anyone speak plain English? Well, my cat can. I like my catmint. I like my game of retrieve. I prefer raw to canned food. I'll purr if you carry me.
