The great enemy of clear language is insincerity.
When there is a gap between one's real and one's declared aims,
one turns as it were instinctively to long words and exhausted idioms,
like a cuttlefish spurting out ink.
 - George Orwell
 
Is insincerity banned from social media? Yes I do think so...
So is why 140 caracters twitter are long enough...
So is why any politician speech is useless..
So is why like Orwell we must fight for less State control, even when
facing whatever crisis or terrorism...

Eric Arthur Blair (25 June, 1903 – 21 January, 1950),[1] better known
by his pen name George Orwell, was an English author. His work is
marked by a profound consciousness of social injustice, an intense
opposition to totalitarianism, a passion for clarity in language and a
belief in democratic socialism.[2]
Considered "perhaps the 20th century's best chronicler of English
culture,"[3] he wrote works in many different genres including novels,
essays, polemic journalism, literary reviews, and poetry. His most
famous works are the satirical novel Animal Farm (1945) and the
dystopian novel Nineteen Eighty-Four (1949).

Zombie Company
March 19
1. A technically bankrupt company that is kept alive with large
infusions of government money for the sake of "stability" in the U.S.
financial system. 2. A large financial company with negative net worth
that continues to operate, despite having no clear path to solvency.
3. The UnDead of Wall Street.
"AIG is the premier example of a zombie company -- kept alive only by
$120 billion in federal bailout money. Apparently, it's considered too
large to fail."

A zombie is a person who behaves like human automaton (usually after
being resurrected and stripped of their soul), most commonly seen in
fiction as a reanimated human corpse.[1][2] Stories of zombies
originated in the Afro-Caribbean spiritual belief system of Vodou,
which told of the people being controlled as laborers by a powerful
sorcerer. Zombies became a popular device in modern horror fiction,
largely because of the success of George A. Romero's 1968 film Night
of the Living Dead.

When ideas fail, words come in very handy.
 - Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
 
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe (help·info) (IPA: [ˈjoːhan ˈvɔlfgaŋ fɔn
ˈgøːtə], in English generally pronounced /ˈgɝːtə/;[1]; 28 August 1749
– 22 March 1832) was a German writer and according to George Eliot,
"Germany's greatest man of letters… and the last true polymath to walk
the earth."[2] Goethe's works span the fields of poetry, drama,
literature, theology, humanism and science. Goethe's magnum opus,
lauded as one of the peaks of world literature, is the two-part drama
Faust.[3] Goethe's other well-known literary works include his
numerous poems, the Bildungsroman Wilhelm Meister's Apprenticeship and
the epistolary novel The Sorrows of Young Werther.
