I have been playing around with this overused and misunderstood word. It seems politicians, ministers and other respected adults are struggling with this nine-letter word.

Maybe I would be better described as a cynical teenager making fun of all the adults who are trying to shove this nine-letter word down our throats. I am not angry, but I am going to be in your face about why adults don't practice what they preach.
