Description

Words are dying. Not all words. Only a select few-words that have specific bearing on our moral health as a nation and our moral past. In this book, a selected list of words is given. These words are not dying because of misuse, but because their essential meanings have been forgotten, compromised or eclipsed altogether.As America enters a moral vacuum, it seems the opposite of what we were and what we are is now the rule. What was once "bad" it seems is now "good" and vice versa. The use of words and language reflects this change. Such obscuring of language is subtle, but there nonetheless. Beware!
