Much riddle wow

Once a code

no longer this word’s abode.

formerly dry as a bone

this sense is long gone.

Still it’s quick and unpaid for

but something I never ignore

Zero

The word zero comes from the word cipher (a code)

This comes from a Sanskrit word sunya-m (meaning desert)

Etymology initially looked from the 'true' meaning of words, now we recognize that previous meanings of words are not somehow more true than current usages

Zip a synonym with zero

Ignore zero at your peril

lacking substance

i think i see the problem

everyone is bickering

everyone is trying to be heard

there are too many of us

talking

for us to listen

some perspectives are valid

others are gotesquely skewed

those that invite the most

are the most disgusting

for they have shock value

which has little value

to the art of expression

so spare me your cries

there is nothing to articulate

but the lack of compassion

unwilling to be admitted

ashamed to proclaim

yet shouted into the night

like the deranged

on a full moon

i think i see the problem

Thank you, for understanding the difference between hearing and listening

the one who reminds me

Political Parties: Lacking Substance

http://www.statenews.com/index.php/article/2011/10/political_parties_lack_substance

  Summary: The author of this article believes that both of the United States' main political parties lack substance. It is said that both of the parties are living in the past. They don't come up with their own solutions to problems and instead base things completely off of situations we have faced in the past. He states that Democrats are stuck in the 1960s while the Republicans are stuck in the 1980s. They have not come up with an actual plan that will be able to fix our economy, and the closest they have come to actually modernizing their ideals is talking about raising the age of health insurance from 65 to 67 because life expectancies have become higher. 

Commentary: When I first found this article, I was actually quite surprised. It has never really occurred to me that our political parties have been "living in the past" and to be quite honest, I disagree. The author states that we are all simply just getting ideas from the past and trying to use them now, but I don't see a problem with doing so if these ideas worked in the past. I think that even though they didn't work perfectly, we are not going to come up with a plan that magically fixes America forever, so we have to go with what we think will be best for right now, even if it means taking ideas from older days. I do however agree with the statement that Democrats are living in the 1960s and that Republicans are living in the 1980s, but I don't see why this is a problem. Obviously our economy needs fixing, but using old methods to fix it will ultimately be the same as coming up with brand new ones. We've tried so many things already that I think it would be awfully hard to even come up with something that doesn't steal some concept from the past.
