In the quote Give Me Liberty or give me death, what would most American understand.
Death would be the key word for most, and in the minds of post 2001, it is antiquated with terrorist.
This is just how easy words and thoughts combines in a dumb down America.
So when we look at other ways that words are lost to the masses, we have not far to look.
It is in the same manner for using words that has alway had one specific meaning such as “habeas corpses”. Prier to 2001 you could look up the words on-line without finding unrelated definitions.
This is just one example of how easy it is to change a nations thought processes, making a rule of law turn in to a TV series which is not related. It is easy to discourage learning for we as a nation have not participated in patiences. We are a society of get it now no matter the consequence.
Would we even stand up for right? Would we shun truth?
The sad point is we have and we will continue to do so, if it is in are best interest we will cut off our nose despite our face.
