Assignment: The Productivity of Anger or Why Our Words Matter.

There’s a bit of anger out there, but does it accomplish anything? Yes I’m speaking of the debate on Health Care. I’m not at all concerned about what you think about the issue—so don’t start talkin’ ‘bout “moral imperative” or “socialism.” I want to know why so many people, people from both sides of the isle, are so filled with hateful words and the effect that speech has on the debate. The last time I got the kinda angry I’ve seen and heard about, I made a fool of myself and I didn’t get anything accomplished, in fact I probably damaged some relationships. What we say and how we say it make a difference. Please comment on either the language of this current debate and discuss the effect the angry words are having on our society. Or discuss a time when the words you used dramatically affected a given moment. How did those words create that outcome?
