Scoring Speech
A woman in Utah has created an index to score political speech on an eight-point scale. it runs from violent words turning into wrongful action to empathy and dignity in discourse. It's a good idea designed to let the public know where a politician or candidate is in the use of rhetoric. Presumably voters will punish those who are level 1 through 4 and reward those who are level 5 through 8. It, as the article notes, might be naïve, but the effort to tone down hate speech is welcome. The tool is useful for communicators in every discipline.
