14. No I don't want plain language. I can understand Kerry just fine.
I spend all day with children. Big words are like good sex to me. Don''t take away my big words.

Without them I am living in a Bush world where instead of this:

"Let us think of education as the means of developing our greatest abilities, because in each of us there is a private hope and dream which, fulfilled, can be translated into benefit for everyone and greater strength for our nation."

Kennedy would have said "teach a kid to do good stuff and he or she will use his good abilities to do good stuff for other people."

Instead of this:

"Without love, benevolence becomes egotism"

Dr King would have said
"without love doing good stuff becomes all about yourself."


Leave me my poetry in word. It reminds me that I have a mind that is meant not only to help me explain to a 3 year old how to make poop come out, but to explain to a friend why their children are safer with Kerry in office.
