Quisling

A geezer moment.

Remember with me if you will, a couple of decades ago, when on TV, usually in the evening, during the non-prime-time that local stations would set aside time slots for PSA’s (public service announcements, run for free to prove why the station is worthy of their precious license to broadcast). An earnest, usually unfamiliar face would appear on the screen and say; “Hi, I’m (name of unfamiliar face), and today’s WORD FROM UNITY is…” They would state a word and proceed to expound inspirationally on that word. It was an effort to make the viewer think and be better for the thinking.

I don’t think it was particularly effective.

I don’t remember it continuing for too long.

Why?

Well…the words weren’t really that interesting, truth be told. Of course, at that time, how interesting could they be? There was no internet, no Google. If the word was at all outré, you’d have to go to the library to look it up!

Well, that was then. This is now and now we’re armed with keyboards.

So…

Hi, I’m Roger Leasor, and today’s WORD FROM UNITY (whatever UNITY is) is; “quisling.”

Quisling.

Look it up.

Read a bit about the man himself. You already know him and his ilk and his regime pretty well.

I think the word could be useful in the next few months and, perhaps, years.
