text: would you rather have someone who talks well or someone who has something to say? it true some are not good speakers. but i have know some great speakers who were the biggest snakes in the world. sounded good-look good-lied well-deceived many. and many today still go by these traits first. be nice if all talked well but i think we need to look beyond what is pleasing.  albert einstein, princess diana (took lessons), the apostles (unlearned men most), gandhi, james steward, moses and many more did not speak well.  hitler, clinton (scam after scam-many greed related) nixon, ted bundy, gassy, satan all talked well.  get over the foolishness of picking on poor speakers. nice to be able to-but not the most important aspect unless your very shallow. i would rather have someone who has something to say. just because you might be eloquent with your words doesn't mean that anything you have to say is anything you personally believe.  having the heart and mind to speak out and at least ask questions on here is more than an honorable trait in a person. i'd ask questions, but i don't know any question i want answered that i myself can't find the answer to. (save the "goldfish jingle" post someone made... that is still bugging me i can't find the answer to.)
