“….When I use a word,” Humpty Dumpty said in rather a scornful tone, “it means just what I choose it to mean, neither more nor less.” “The question is,” said Alice, “whether you can make words mean so many different things.” “The question is,” said Humpty Dumpty, “which is to be master, that’s all….”

The definition of a Libertarian? A republican who…:

Wildwood Weed

….One day this feller from Washington come by
And he spied us and he turned white as a sheet.
And he dug and he burned.
And he burned and he dug.
And he killed all our cute little weeds.
Then he drove away.
We just smiled and waved.
Sittin’ there on that sack of seeds….

Think of all the possibilities.
