re: #274 Obdicut

Then, again, define what you mean instead of complaining we’re not using it the same way. Explain how your definition means those Navy members are not independent and involving hundreds of them— as well as Obama’s staff— makes this less-than-transparent.

You seem unable to define your terms. Why?

Independant: Free from outside control and not depending on another’s authority.

Do you understand when someone refers to the free press they don’t mean how much it costs, but rather the freedom from outside control?

Having no independent witness to the burial at sea is less transparent than having one.

The Navy personnel (and we don’t know how many witnessed this burial at sea, or who) are all honorable men and women. However they are not independent of the Navy.

Now I am going to pull an Obdicut… watch,,,

Obdicut, why are you against freedom of the press? Why are you trying to change the first amendment? Don’t you think that the first amendment is good? Are you also against free exercise of religion? What have you got against the free exercise of religion?

Just tell me what you would want instead of a first amendment.
