Abstract: Abstract Once upon a time, Oregonians spoke the same language. Indeed, we were nearly bilingual: We spoke not only with the honest conviction of self-reliant individuals, but simultaneously conversed in the dialect of the common good. Words such as community and friendship and culture actually meant what we like to think they do. After listening to six months of raw and undigested politispeak, it’s a wonder we’re still speaking at all, much less to one another.
