Herr Rot, Herr Rot--I don't even know where to start, you're so confused about everything in here. But OK, let's start from the basics, and look again at the US Constitution, willya?

* Article 3, Section 3 deals with treason (not speech, free or otherwise):

Treason against the United States, shall consist only in levying War against them, or in adhering to their Enemies, giving them Aid and Comfort. No Person shall be convicted of Treason unless on the Testimony of two Witnesses to the same overt Act, or on Confession in open Court. The Congress shall have power to declare the Punishment of Treason, but no Attainder of Treason shall work Corruption of Blood, or Forfeiture except during the Life of the Person attainted.

* The First Amendment deals with free speech (inter alia, if you catch my Latin):

Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.

So you see, Herr Rot, x \ne y, and A does not always imply B, despite what Rotter Logick says.

Apparently you don't know where to start. I know that you got the hots for Michelle Bachman and so keep your little Constitution in your pocket in case she shows up to your office in a bikini and starts quizzing you, but you really ought to get those filthy images out of your head and read the top link first, and then practice what you'd say when Michelle's bra-strap slips off her shoulder and she asks you about Articles and Amendments.

King on non-sequiturs, thy name is Rot.

Now, now, Rot. Did you really need to do that?

A little gem of an ad.

1) The million is worth it.

2) The ad is what this whole thread is about, Dr Alz.

Pay up. A million.

But you didn't link to the actual ad, did you?

Your legalisms won't help you in VCP debtors' prison, Tecs. Pay up.

In the meantime, have you figured out yet the difference between Article m, Section n and the k-th Amendment, for various values of m, n, and k? It's an exercise for you.

Have you clicked the top link yet or do I have to send a whippersnapper over to help you do it?

I may have, but that was a day or two ago, and in the meantime, lots of bacalhau has gone in and out for me to remember. Sheesh.

As Bro. Theodore said, you fill what is empty and empty what is full.

Where did you guys go?

10/11/2010 2:53 PM
Tecumseh said...

The usual. Chorizo, mussels, bacalhau, sweets. Some beer, and then gros rouge. That fills you up, trust me.
