Who Writes History?

While watching world leaders and their speeches this week, I remembered an out-of-date phrase from a former world leader - "axis of evil" - and the fact that it was a speechwriter who claimed to coin the phrase. Checked the Internet and here's what I found:

• Wife's email brags on husband's invention of phrase
• Speechwriter gets personal joy and profit from his "invention"

Every one of us has a say in what our species is doing at any one moment. Therefore, it behooves us to make sure our neighbours are making sense when they act and speak. If not, then offer an opinion that points out possible discrepancies between speech and reality and don't let others get carried away in believing statements or acts that run counter to positive reinforcement of our species.
