If we could do this with every public and political speech, we could change our national governments to something intelligent within 6 months. And, we could easily out and ID people who were mimicking heroism for tyrannical, despotic, or idiotic goals.

This is what I have long been able to see in my mind, but never figured out how to illustrate adequately.

Language intelligence is absolutely crucial to human intelligence, and here’s an excellent example of why:

A rhetological vetting of a recent speech by Cardinal O’Brien on topics related to marriage and homosexuality.

Now, what we need is a pubic funded site where -every political speech is vetted this way-. So that a: we can all learn the art, and b: our politicians (and religiots) can no longer expect to simply slime their way to fame and power.
