Question of the Day

Is "pragmatist" just a nicer way to describe a person with no convictions?

  1. Yes. By the way I hate that word. It is completely self-serving and when I see it, I can't help thinking of "change for the sake of change". For example, change can be good and ideas can be good, but that doesn't mean all changes or ideas are good.

  2. I thought that was the word "moderate", but "pragmatist" works for me, as does "spineless drone".

    "A person with no convictions" - hey, another Obama accolade! Too bad many of Chicago's city employees and politicos have at least one felony. Change does a body good, just like colonic enhancement.
