(2,086 posts)dictionary-backed purists who are attacking your message based on a mere quibble, KM, this'll certainly do until they get around to establishing a bona fide, dictionary supported police state.
It seems like their biggest concern is that you can get away with saying this is a police state. Like the Police State really gives a flying fuck what one of the small-p proles say. It certainly doesn't inconvenience them, it isn't going to make them responsible to us, and it sure isn't going to make them honor the Constitution.
If we step out of our queue too far, if anything we do actually inconveniences Them, They'll certainly shut us up, but by then it won't matter what the dictionary says, because They'll control the language like They already control everything else.
Do They really care who marches in the street? So what if we shut down one, or five, or a dozen Walmart stores? There's a thousand stores unaffected and the Board just writes it off as a loss and deducts it from what little They pay in taxes to make up the loss.
They let us vent all we want, because it never changes anything. If we clamor too loudly over the slaughter of minorities, They empanel a Grand Jury that They control and a murder gets declared Heroism.
HEY, DICTIONARY-BACKED DENIERS! Wake-up, a quisling quibble doesn't change reality, and reality is They can snatch up anyone of us, any time They want and the Patriot Act makes it legal for Them, the Patriots, to get away with it.
