In reply to SAFEupstateFML. The core message in the book is, “When I use a word,’ Humpty Dumpty said in rather a scornful tone, ‘it means just what I choose it to mean — neither more nor less.’ ’The question is,’ said Alice, ‘whether you can make words mean so many different things.’ ’The question is,’ said Humpty Dumpty, ‘which is to be master — that’s all.” After reading that exchange, I had learned all that the book had to offer, and put the book down; never looking back.

Interesting article, but the point is that we can stop mass shootings entirely, through confiscation of all firearms held by lawful owners. Look at nations that do not allow private ownership of firearms; the mass shooting episodes are truly rare. But the core source of all gun crime, indeed, all crime is “the law”. No law, no crime. We need a national ban on law!

Exactly. Whatever fits the narrative. Not a peep about the southern border with all the drugs coming through and killing hundreds of thousands of Americans. Damn those nasty guns.

Definitions shift to whatever is politically-convenient…

In reply to Shire-man. Reminds me I should probably reread Lewis Carroll for the Wonderland insights to the kind of thinking that surrounds me.

Leftists only have one rule for language: words mean what I want them to mean when I want them to mean what I want them to mean.

Like their gender language is fluid and as such is meaningless while somehow simultaneously being of utmost importance.

In short they’re all rambling mental patients.
