A way with words

One of the common threads I found between many of the readings is that the authors examine individual words and how people who are trying to actively make change use words a certain way. On Monday, many of the presentations concerned using words that not everyone would agree mean the same thing. Here is a German DJ living in America who spends more time evaluating idioms and expressions than he actually does making music. What he has to say isn’t political but he the way he examines words almost mirrors Alinsky’s way of critiquing the way we use words.
