"Hope and Change are useful terms and I want to use them."

I mean the North American President Obama.

I think they were useful terms but have been made meaningless by the Obama team's progress since that campaign. The words were used to give people a vision of a better future; then, once in office they became just that, words: words without any foundational authority within political or domestic reality.

If I now start a campaign calling for 'hope and change' these words won't be as powerful as they once might have been, they've been emptied out and only their skeletons remain. By emptying-out and ruining important words it limits any further use of them.

A literal interpretation of a statement is always possible, yes.

(But we have the power to let sink into oblivion whatever (or whoever) we think deserves it ...)

“Every child in America entering school at the age of five is insane because he comes to school with certain allegiances to our founding fathers, toward our elected officials, toward his parents, toward a belief in a supernatural being, and toward the sovereignty of this nation as a separate entity. It’s up to you as teachers to make all these sick children well – by creating the international child of the future”- Dr. Chester M. Pierce, address to the Childhood International Education Seminar, 1973

Sadly I think most teachers foster that insanity, and exacerbate the illness of the mind that is patriotism.
