I am still waiting for your explanation of using the My-Lai massacre
as justification for armed insurrection and what the corollary is to the
American Revolution and the first two amendments of the Constitution.
I can figure out how the 1st, 5 th and 8 th fit into the argument ;
however, the 2nd doesn't appear to be germane.

into pathetic attempts at belittlement and an argument over whether
or
not a word (that even the publishers of a dictionary recognize)
exists.
I will let you return to your solo drinking and perusal of the
dictionary in search of those "big" words to insert in your
conversations.
