(90,741 posts)The next questions after these rants (mine included!!!) always and inevitably is - "okay, HOW do we do it?" "How does this get done?" "So what can we DO about it?" Well - maybe here's what WE can "DU" about it!!!!
Let's start thinking up some ways to say it.
What we need, as the old radio slogan goes, is a "phrase that pays."
How clever can any of us be, in articulating the message? How clever can we get? We've got some SUPERLATIVE minds and thinkers and writers on this board. Some people here just have a way with words. Big time. Let's think up a way (or ways) to say it - in the cleverest, most beguiling, funniest, mostest killer-est and MEMORABLE way possible. The more clever it is, the funnier it is, the more colorful it is, the more MEMORABLE it will be and if it's clever, other people will find it easier to repeat. Cuz it makes THEM look clever and funny and shrewd and smart, too.
Let's try to think something up! Bumpersticker-size too. Has to be something that just cream-pie's it onto people's faces with one big ol' splat that just simply cannot be ignored or avoided. Something easy to grasp for all the low-information voters and Short Attention Span Club members out there. Something that really sticks to yer ribs, as my mom used to say about the good solid long-burning carbs she always wanted to feed me. Then it'll get used. And the more it gets used the easier it'll spread and go viral. And then the meme is established. The idea becomes validated. The seed is planted. Might even take root, too! Said, READ, and SPREAD!
