Words to live byThe way to fight this 'moving forward' frame is not to repeat it--that's the first step. The problem is, Americans want to talk about and correct all the problems the President created and we are in right now. And if we talk about 'moving forward' and looking up the road and turning points--we get distracted from the present. To reframe, we should force the debate to use a new phrase: This phrase focuses the discussion in Iraq, on immigration policy, on oil policy, on hurricane preparedness--focuses attention on the real concern: a government that fails to act in the face of huge problems.

i hate the term too!
I think I hate the Census classifying us (and by us I mean Raza, Latinos or whatever other panethnic term you want to use) as white more than I hate the term Hispanic. I read a sociology book on immigration where these big name sociologists hypothesized that people who marked "white" as their race somehow had a more assimilated view of themselves. That was the stupidest thing I'd ever read and wondered how their editors/reviewers let it pass.
