I am disappointed that you appear to believe that only someone else
having thought so first can support my principles necessarily having
always been true.Gravity was just as strong before people started
putting laws about it in writing,or before there were people or writing.

I refuse to wear a kilt,or tolerate their being worn by
anyone without something underneath...best to keep me
away from those I would have to forcibly forbid from
paying heed to the wishes of the infamous "regimental
inspector",though this is not intrinsic to the nature of
existence as is the necessarily absolute nature of properly
understood Monarchy.

The World Trade Center towers MUST rise again,
at least as tall as before...or terror has triumphed.
