Words in the skilled, mellow liquid mouth of
a master manipulator can seduce and traduce
its listeners, spellbound with the nuance and
promise of soft landings the very romance of
language and its dreamlike influence. Words
carry meaning, premises and promises; they can
hide intent and highlight prejudices softened by
expression. Words have the potential to incite and to
excite and those skilled in moving an audience
with innuendo leading to conclusions are masters
at the game of imputing venal motives to others in
soothing those whose status as victims require discreet
mollifying with the promise of salvation to be achieved
by violence against the aggressors destined to become
victims by terrorist action achieving the goal of
unloosing the shackles of civilization. A glide from
toleration of others to full-on violence the turning
circle courtesy of the justification of ideas through
words morphing into action. Ignore the power of
words' effect and reap the whirlwind of humanity
berserk with its power prepared to launch their
version of freedom to victimize unwary targets.
