Definitely Define your Definitions
As I often caution: The A.I. sends me this shit. Most I don’t watch all the way through. I get the jist of it and move on.
Ralph Winterrowd on RBN taught that when Rules and Regulations are promulgated in the State or Federal Registers that they begin with definitions.
Lettuce take my perennial example of a single word:
Seal.
The Navy Seal attached a Seal on the Sealed Container that was put on a Seal that would swim to the location.
What the fuck is a seal?
If it is not defined for the specific ‘law’ then it can and will be used against you.
What is a Man?

So although the Constipation that many revere is just an interoffice memo countersigned by NO regent or their viceroy so it has no international significance and Lysander Spooner said like Bush Baby that it was just a Scrap, the arguments regarding AMENDING such a Scrap - thus implying that the Scrap was FLAWED FROM THE OUTSET - to include hominids with vaginas not just the implied penis-havers is hampered by the first principle of linguistics, linguine, and common fucking sense:
If Man CAN mean the entirety of human kind
(Ballantines defining a Human as a Monster)
but there was no DEFINITION of “Man” or “Men” in the floundering father’s document, then
how do you know women WEREN’T covered by that word despite women (penis have-nots) being treated like whore-commodities throughout history?
how do you know that they ARE covered, but with a wink and a nod of the Old Boy’s Net, they conveniently ALLOW the plebes to be arguing things not defined in a paper that has as much value as Charmin’s cheepest butt sanding sheets?
Since I was young (can’t say I was a child because I was found fully formed in a cabbage patch) I saw through the word-spell-bullshit that IF you have to AMEND or be FORCED to FINALLY *GIVE* RIGHTS (rights are taken by force not granted) then there was a fundamental (religious?) fatal flaw in your entire system from the start.
It’s like trying to put an addition on a house that has wet-rot through and through.
It won’t hold up under it’s own weight and the rot will spread to the new stuff.
So I got 3:32 minutes in (thanks god it wasn’t 3:33) before I turned it off to Stack on the absurdity of arguing how many pinheads can dance on top of an angel.
No definitions. No nothing. Perifuckingid.
IF you have to AMEND or be FORCED to FINALLY *GIVE* RIGHTS (rights are taken by force not granted) then there was a fundamental (religious?) fatal flaw in your entire system from the start.
How bout that word A'MEN'D? the fatal fall is the men who would make this shit up in the first place and then appoint themselves the ones who could fix it.
Kind of how wackzines work.. give the people a poison dis GUYzed as a remedy, then amend that remedy in order to fix the problem the first remedy actually caused.
That is your English laws.....and folks lets face it it is a PATRIARCAL society since before the bible and the three stooged religions. Only in English you got a man from a woman in the same word and you get man and wife .....or is it man and WiFi?
