[MattinNJ]

Shakespeare is about pushing the boundries of language to make something beautiful. He made up, quite literally, many of the words and phrases still in common use every day, many by people who have no idea what they are really saying. You probably quote him constantly

Great point. Imagine if Dubya had walked up to the podium on September 12, 2001 and simply said "Cry havoc and let slip the dogs of war"-then walked away. Much more powerful and to the point then any 5 page speech. Then again, "You are either with us, or with the terrorists" was beautiful in it's own way.

Hear me more plainly.
I have in equal balance justly weigh'd
What wrongs our arms may do, what wrongs we suffer,
And find our griefs heavier than our offences.

(2 Henry IV 4.1.70-3)
