I’m reminded of the adage, “say what you mean, and mean what you say.” This adage could not have originated with anyone other than a true liberty lover, and constitutionalist.
Why? Because the first amendment to that foundational document incorporates within its body the very heart, and essence, of saying whatever it is that one means whenever they dare say a thing. It truly is foundational.
An example? “Sir, it’s time to remove yourself, and your thuggish dogs from my property forthwith. ”
Anything else?
Yes. Secondarily, one cannot ensure that the recipient of one’s spoken word, has indeed received that spoken word by mere utterance alone. It’s in the meaning of the thing where we find purpose to our utterances.
Without the means to mean what one says, it’s meaningless noise, and it will be treated as exactly that, as meaningless noise by every despot who happens to pass by.
Herein lies the body, and the essence of the second amendment to that foundational document… meaning what one says.
In action it would follow thusly; “
1:) “Hey, Georgie, ‘git offa muh land.’”
2:) BANG ‼️
It’s all really quite simple. Say whatever you mean, and whenever it’s necessary, mean what it is that you are saying.

Did you write that intro for the "emcee"? Or did that kind lady decide to flatter you, all on her own? :-D
What lady???
Did I use the wrong pronouns again? I/me/it hate/hates when I/me/it do/does this/that/theotherthing.
