	Language Deception
		Deceptive Language is what hooks our manipulated society into automatically siding with the humanized critter/animal (Jimmy the Cricket, Bambi's mom, etc.) instead of the Property Rights side -- partly because the Constitution is downplayed, ignored, or taught as a "living document" in the public schools.
		Learning how to recognize Language Deception is much like learning how to read, all over again.
		It's to our credit that more of us every day are growing aware and learning how language has been, and is being, used as a weapon to take control.

	NORMAN SOLOMON RECEIVES 1999 GEORGE ORWELL AWARD (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-02)
		NATIONALLY SYNDICATED COLUMNIST NORMAN SOLOMON won the 1999 George Orwell Award for Distinguished Contribution to Honesty and Clarity in Public Language.
		Half a century ago, George Orwell commented: "Circus dogs jump when the trainer cracks his whip, but the really well-trained dog is the one that turns his somersault when there is no whip." In late 1999, few whips are cracking in US newsrooms.
		As Orwell noted long ago, language "becomes ugly and inaccurate because our thoughts are foolish, but the slovenliness of our language makes it easier for us to have foolish thoughts." When facing the power of corporatized media, it's easy to take the path of least resistance, going along to get along.

		It's time for teachers to educate the public by putting an initiative on the ballot that stops the wasteful spending of education dollars.
		In many ways, it is hitting its stride, with stable public and private funding and an applicant pool that many graduate schools would pine for (one in eight members of Yale's Class of 2005 applied, with similar figures at Harvard, Princeton and Dartmouth).
		There was something else equally striking: a co-option of language (or glosses of language) from the humanities and from social justice movements, in order to articulate, promote, and justify test-as-measurement.
