A while back, a friend of mine talked me into getting a My Space. I caved to the peer pressure. "Even though I sank that low", I thought, "at least I don't have a Deviant Art account". I assumed I'd always have THAT much going for me, at the very least. You can see how that ended up.

I've heard ugly rumours that this site does not respect the copyright of its members. Copyright is actually a constitutional amendment here in the U.S.A. If you live in the U.S. and you didn't know that, go back to NORTH America or SOUTH America or wherever the bloody hell you're from. On the other hand, you can stay, because we're WELL overdue for another constitution.

The wording of the constitution tends to confuse many of our illiterate citizens. Take the second amendment, for example. A lot of folks think that it's there to assure their right to carry guns and shoot illegal emigrants. However, if you look at the text, it says no such thing.

"A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed."

If you can read that sentence without moving your lips, you may notice that it follows the basic structure of modus ponendo ponens. A well regulated Militia and its necessity to the security of a free state are the two conditions for the right to keep and bear Arms. To put it in the formal language of deductive reasoning, "a well regulated Militia" is the premise, "being necessary to the security of a free State" is the argument and "the right to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed" is the conclusion.

Whew, this rational thinking stuff can get pretty hard, can't it~? Just bear with me a little more. The readers who have hope of ever growing brains and becoming intelligent may be wondering what is meant by a "well regulated Militia". The National Guard and the Police, of course, are well regulated Militias. Those idiots patrolling the border and calling themselves the "Minute Men" are vigilantes, who often find themselves in jail, because they are NOT a well organized Militia.

Those of you who don't think that the "Black Panthers" was a blacksploitation movie version of "Pink Panther" may be wondering if they were, as they claimed, a well organized Militia. That's a very slippery question, because there were so many folks going around calling themselves that. Some of them were very lawful whilst others were not. However, when any of their branches signed up with the feds, they became a Militia.

Now, the folks who scream "constitution" to protect their right to shoot Mexicans and cry "Despotism" when that right is infringed are actually going against that text. As Libertarians, Bloods and Crips are not well organized Militias, their weapons are not constitutionally protected, Q.E.D.

Now, from Article 1, Section 8 of the constitution:

"To promote the Progress of Science and useful Arts, by securing for limited
Times to Authors and Inventors the exclusive Right to their respective Writings
and Discoveries;"

That clause follows the same logic. You Tube is perfectly constitutional, because it PROMOTES the progress of Art. Folks who fall in love with a musician or band's videos on You Tube, including the "stolen" videos, will often buy the albums. However, by disrespecting the rights of their members to their own respective works, Deviant Art impedes the progress of the useful Arts, hence Deviant Art violates the constitution, Q.E.D.

Folks, that was just "Stream of Consciousness" writing, so it wasn't all that good. If the punctuation and capitalization were weird, don't blame me, because I was just writing what I thought without much editing. NO WAY am I going to write anything more serious on this site. Hope you still enjoyed it.
