I just finished reading "Whose Freedom?" by George Lakoff and was amazed to see such a clear example of reframing on display. All is not lost. The progressive movement in this country has about 30-40 years of catching up to do with the conservative movement on delivering its framing to the point that it becomes common sense: literally hard-coded into people's brains. The Speech was a start. Dave _______________________________________________ http://www.mccmedia.com/mailman/listinfo/brin-l
