Moving Forward

Moving Forward - these 2 words are sort of my pet peeve. I felt a little annoyed when I heard people say it. To be fair, there is really nothing wrong with the expression itself. Even I sometimes use it, so what is my complaint? __________________________________________________ My complaint is not that we must never use this expression. It is about politicians who say it too often. They will use this expression to avoid a question. In other words, they will give you an answer which is not an answer. Ask them a question, like what are they going to do with certain problem, and they will reply by saying something like ‘we’ll move forward’ __________________________________________________ Moving forward? Good, but where are you going? When will you move? Immediately or much later? What are you going to do to solve the problem? How are you going to do it? __________________________________________________ Sorry about my complaint. Let’s move forward!
