Tom's post is not trite, it is extremely clever...

Flame » in reply to Jody, it never hurts to touch base with reality from time to time

It is typical of point/counter-point that we see every day. Trite is another example. It is never ending and pointless.

I may quote Tom's post because of it cleverness but it will only resonate with those who already feel threatened by big government. Trite will resonate equally with others

It is all just a war of words

        QED is an acronym for a phrase in Latin meaning something like "Thus it is proven". - ER - 7/23/2013 3:51:39 AM

        Not "government" Robert. A certain vision of it. - TB - 7/22/2013 12:24:58 AM
        
        The problem is that it's your vision - Robert - 7/22/2013 6:55:16 PM

        Which one of us were you addressing with that little post? - Robert - 7/22/2013 6:46:22 PM

        Apparently, you don't want to talk about what I want to talk about. - ER - 7/22/2013 4:09:19 AM
        
        Not only trite, but off the point, irrelevant, misleading. - bowser - 7/21/2013 11:17:17 PM
      - Jody, it never hurts to remember what slavery actually IS. - TB - 7/21/2013 7:22:03 PM
        
        You do. McDonalds or the military. Some choice, eh? - bowser - 7/21/2013 10:16:11 PM
        
        Well, that wasn't trite at all. - TB - 7/22/2013 1:00:29 AM
        
        No, but it was right on target. - ER - 7/22/2013 1:54:47 AM
