Can't never could because he never tried!

This article is all about empowerment. When we change the emphasis from the one word to the other, we are sometimes booted out of our comfort zone and made to confront harsh realities...but often we are liberated and find we have control when before, we thought we had none.

I found annoying, though, the author's use of the phrase, "begging the question." More and more I see it used inaccurately (as she does here) to mean, "beg to ask the question." In fact it is a rhetorical fallacy commonly used in argument or persuasion. To beg the question is to assume the truth of a debatable point and base the rest of the discussion on that questionable assumption, e.g. "Conservation is the only means of averting an energy crisis; therefore we must concentrate on methods to conserve energy"  or "What prison sentence shall we give the child abusers who take alcohol and drugs while pregnant?"

This reminds me of another related word change that is valuable. .... It's what "YODA" said in Star Wars when he was training Luke in the ways of "The Force". .....

"Try?,...... There is no Try. ..... There is only Do,.... or Not Do."
