Have you ever spoken about an issue and only the a few words are actually heard? I remember attending an anniversary of the assassination of John F Kennedy and giving an eloquent speech to a reporter why I didn’t consider JFK to be the best President only to find one sentence from my speech in the paper “He was young, good looking and shot that’s why he was popular”.
It taught me a lesson that lingers till today every word counts but the extreme words count a hell of a lot more. You can grab the attention of your friends and associates when you lose your tact and go right for the red meat, the only problem is you might lose a few friends along the way and more important lose your point. Once you’re labeled an extremist by saying a few words even out of context all your other points are struck down as if they didn’t exist. Therefore the old saying speak before you talk holds water today even if sometimes you want that water to boil. It is best to keep that water luke warm unless your speaking in a closed pot among friends.
