Dear Seth,

In your post of January 13, 2017 you wrote:

Words keep getting cheaper, which makes action more valuable than ever.

I respectfully disagree.

Words focus: “The whole world is watching.”

Words inspire: “I have a dream…”

Words unite: “Give peace a chance.”

Words mobilize: “We the people…”

Words are not getting cheaper.

On the contrary, they have never been so dear.

Talk is cheap.

Words are the currency of action.
