Posted on 07/02/2003 7:00:38 AM PDT by Slip18

In order that we might all raise the level of discourse and expand our language abilities, here is the daily post of “word for the day”. Rules: Everyone must leave a post using the “word of the day”; in a sentence. The sentence must, in some way, relate to the news of the day. The Review threads are linked for your edification. ;-) Practice makes perfect.....post on....

Heck, I hate to call you in, but I think I put this thread in News/Activism instead of General.

Could you please fix it? Thanks. And sorry to bother you.

As a wee lad I was full of vim and vigor. I was literally bouncing off the walls. My mother would frequently scold me and say, "Young man I need you to zeitgeist a minute." I always compiled quickly least I incur the rath of broom.

Last night there was a Canadian diplomat-type person on the tele. She was babbling on about starting a new tradition in Vancouver: Giving out free drugs to the druggies. Now that is zeitgeist.

Nice usage, Flurry. You get an A plus an extra + for making me laugh. Those aren't in the rules, but I can change the rules any time I want!

Yet Vancouver brags about having one of the first and strictest smoking bans in BC - makes no sense to me.

Smoking=Bad
Drugs=Good

At least that's the way I see it for Vancouver.

When you consider such zeitgeists as formal recognition by local governments of same-sex partnerships, or a federal judge blocking legislation that banned partial-birth abortions, or lawyers filing obesity litigation against fast food restaurants, you don't have to wonder why people think this country is going to hell in a handbasket.
