SLOGANS
January 19, 2009 - 11:16pm
Before I start, 'slogan' is one of those words that start sounding like a nonsense sound if you just repeat it a few times... same as other words like 'yet' or 'bleak' But with that out of the way.... I'm expecting as are many I assume, at least one great slogan to come out of the mouth of the new president tomorrow. With that anticipation I reflected upon some other great slogans from the past and wondered if they really made a difference or not. Has there been a study on the effect of slogans or are they just benchmarks in history.
"From each according to their means..." "bechha can't eat just one" "An eye for an eye" What true steering ability does the Slogan offer? Should we be concerned?
YES WE CAN!
lol
I watched a meaningless spectacle that is suppose to represent change yesterday. This happens every 4-8 years does that count?
"The people, united, can never be divided"
"Don't mourn, organize"
"Hey hey! Ho ho! ___________ has got to go!"
Are you sure you want to diss slogans outright?
I have always been partial to "Educate, Agitate, Organise"!
"Transparent and accountable governemnt."
