Talking isn't doing. It is a kind of good deed to say well; and yet words are not deeds.
William Shakespeare
We love a good orator. If you can spin a pretty word, stand up on a soap box, pulpit, or bandstand, and we will judge your abilities by your words.
I have avoided listening to any of the speeches given at both political conventions, but this morning I heard a report from the Mugshot in Wisilla, Alaska. Over by the pool table , a patron said that Palin's speech, just her speech, puts to rest any doubts about her abilities. Listen to the news clip.
The same thing makes me suspect of Barak Obama: he orates too well. Too often, communities are swayed by smooth words and revival emotion. There's not much that could ever change my mind about voting for that candidate, but I wish he'd skip a few beats.
