“Unity” is one of those words that politicians of every stripe invoke when they want to say something that is meaningless and bland. Another good example of such a word is “change,” which only begs the question: Change from what to what else? The change I would like most is when I order schwarma, and tender a $5 bill, I get some change back. In fact, I would like change when I tender a $10.
And just to confuse some of you nudniks, I am a registered Democrat and unregistered liberal, and the two politicians who invoked “change” the most were Bill Clinton and Barak Obama.
