Begging the question

I cannot say exactly what I've been doing for the past twelve days. Either I don't know or I can't write about it. Suffice it to say that I haven't yet learned my lesson though I am having a great deal of fun attempting to do so.

It concerns me that the meaning of 'begging the question' is being weeded out of the vernacular and it is now being presented by news readers, anchor persons and eye candy of all sorts to mean that the question must be asked. I think this comes as a result of the fact that almost every political utterance passed on to us by said individuals does, in fact, beg the question and the fewer of us that understand what that means, the better for them.

I am also appalled by the amount of debate framing that has been going on of late. Given the severe consequences to the very few, I think it is unpardonable and the only appropriate action at this time is to gather together our frequent flyer miles and bring the boys and girls home whilst they still have something to look forward to.
