I will accept that our government only has the powers that we, the people, give it. You may even be right about my ignorance of our constitution. You certainly have the right to express your opinion of my ignorance. And, until your opinions about my ignorance, of which you've only touched on one of many, defame my character or cause me to suffer damages, I have no complaint. You are certainly correct that I may expose my ignorance in public. But, at this point we disagree.
It is indeed my right to expose my ignorance in pubic or in private, including within this forum. I am a member of this forum, no more so or less than, but just like, you. I am empowered to expose any and all of my ignorance in any public forum, for it is my inalienable right. I am also empowered to expose any and all of my ignorance in any private forum, for it is my right of membership. And, until my expression of my own ignorance crosses the line of defamation in public, or exceeds the limits of my membership in private, I will continue to do so.
And I did not, sir, miss a single day of eighth grade in social studies or in any other subject. You are out of line when you claim otherwise. I demand that you correct yourself. I can offer proof of my attendance; to wit, a little silver star pasted on my eighth grade report card, which is still in my possession. I will give that I was probably in the corner of the classroom not paying too much attention, but I did not miss that day. Ha!
