Argon and jargon

Webster defines Argon as an odorless, colorless, and inert gas with little or no ability to perform outside strategic lines! Jargon (a secret or coded language) and a rhyming chime of the former mention speak somewhat analogously of what is happening with the Media and with voices inside the Beltway. I have followed the jaded juries of “Jonesville” for a host of years, have taught Public Speaking and Creative Writing in expanded circles, have tuned in to a daily dose of “who’s-it-what’s-it,” and am now finding trouble with the sparkle of merry Mary! 

Unfortunately, all this happens during the quadrennial election to the high post of POTUS, for my ballot would count on the ledger if I could simply digest what their fine arts refer to.  Making an impression with “word salad” is not my style of lending credibility. There exists a far more successful terminology in reaching the electorate. In reality, what is being uttered (and published) is either intermittently bogus, erroneously reported, or twisted beyond recognition. I am seriously concerned, but (like many others) I will be a happy camper when November both comes and goes. 

Much like Argon, the effects of having “been there” stand dormant when one strong puff of echoes chooses to diss a common dialect, one clearly understood from “Southport to Northcrest!” Patriotic Americans owe it to those who have sacrificed life and limb for the privilege of sounding off in a legal, ethical, and practical response. A garbled grunt to the general population is not sufficient.  It is time we “treat the meet” with vocal chords of common sense and language. America has had its fill of riddles, innuendos, and excuses. 

Get it right, or pass the mantle! Tell it straight, or practice silence! Slants and dance will not pass muster! Be honest or be gone! That is our final word!
