"A vision without work is an illusion, while work without vision is confusion."

From the articles I've been reading, African journalists are way more eloquent than US journalists.

It's probably the whole British-English thing.

I haven't read a lot of british news, but the little I've read usually isn't so eloquent either. So, I think it isn't just the language difference, though that may be a factor in it.

African journalists also use a number of colorful phrases, and it's just interesting. I figure that's more a cultural thing, and they're just directly translating. They also seem unafraid to take a position in an issue, which has its pros and cons.
