If you like Alan Watts take on linguistics, you will like this book, it came out just over 2 years ago, and shows the reality of linguistics and how they are misused, and they are not a new thing, but date back as far as 16th century.

Cloudy vagueness or pure wind what Politicians say, this book shows its not, its all very loaded language.

To be forewarned is to be forearmed
