text: why the hell do politicians use such big words? how are honest normal folks meant to understand?   hopefully to scare the ignorant away. people should read more and try to educate themselves, to more effectively understand the english language. its sad that a child who likes to read has a higher intellect than most of the populace in the us. pathetic, really. normal folks are literate and therefore should read. period. there are countries that cannot afford to give their children an effective education like we can and we abuse it too much!
