Equalitarian,notEgalitarian:nix fiscal too:be brief to Independents
Edited on Sun May-23-04 12:33 AM by oscar111
Communication tips:
Sweden is not Sweeden

EAGLES HERE?
Pls use equalitarian, not egalitarian. Most folks dont know what egalitarian might mean, but CAN figure out equali-tarian easily. They both mean the same, equality.

HISS-ERS
Pls nix use of "fiscal",... say "financial". Fiscal is loved by the RW, because it sounds like a harsh attack is being launched by a hissing snake. very RW. To independent voters, "fiscal" sounds like a hated banker is talking. So stop using fiscal.

OUR "CULTURE" FLAW ----
The LW "culture" is to convert people by throwing a book or long article and saying to the Independent ... "quit your job so you will have time to study this at length." Friends , the millions are harried and overworked like you have never been.

The millions are not locked in your classroom for an hour's lecture.

Learn from the recently victorious RW: distill your arguments to one sentence or a catchy phrase. This takes some thought. But it will win elections.. and also you will discover the core theory within your ideas.

Some LWers are snobs about how much they read, and insist others also read long articles to get one key fact. Dont be a snob. It loses fencesitters instead of converting them.

Abbreviations: spell them out, once in a post. DFA, DFL,.. Many dont know what each means. Yet i see them in posts here with no details. Also, union abbrev's. Gee, what do some of them mean???
AFSCME is gibberish to most newbies.

SNIDE CHILDREN
Communicate politely. Snide comments just this side of flaming are still offensive. Attack facts, not posters' intelligence.
