Words are dying. Not all words. Only a select few-words that have specific bearing on our moral health as a nation and our moral past. In this book, a selected list of words is given. These words are not dying because of misuse, but because their essential meanings have been forgotten, compromised or eclipsed altogether. As America enters a moral vacuum, it seems the opposite of what we were and what we are is now the rule. What was once "e;bad"e; it seems is now "e;good"e; and vice versa. The use of words and language reflects this change. Such obscuring of language is subtle, but there nonetheless. Beware!
