@High Seas,
’Twas brillig, and the slithy toves
Did gyre and gimble in the wabe;
All mimsy were the borogoves,
And the mome raths outgrabe.
“Beware the Jabberwock, my son!
The jaws that bite, the claws that catch!
Beware the Jubjub bird, and shun
The frumious Bandersnatch!”
He took his vorpal sword in hand:
Long time the manxome foe he sought"
So rested he by the Tumtum tree,
And stood awhile in thought.
And as in uffish thought he stood,
The Jabberwock, with eyes of flame,
Came whiffling through the tulgey wood,
And burbled as it came!
One, two! One, two! and through and through
The vorpal blade went snicker-snack!
He left it dead, and with its head
He went galumphing back.
“And hast thou slain the Jabberwock?
Come to my arms, my beamish boy!
O frabjous day! Callooh! Callay!”
He chortled in his joy.
’Twas brillig, and the slithy toves
Did gyre and gimble in the wabe;
All mimsy were the borogoves,
And the mome raths outgrabe
WHy just quote Humpty Dumpty?
I sort of hinted that the definition of "nations" was merely a ref to an ethnic or tribal identification but I kept getting returned posts that were increasingly loaded with some kind of certainty that treaties with Indians WERE drafted as if among sovereign nations. .
The point or relevance to this very thread was minor but it had to
do with "rights" to secede and sovereign nations at war. (It is ionus opinion that slavery was nit an issue of the war and that the North began the war by not evacuating Fort Sumter after SOuth Carolina left the Union. Its sort of how US got into WWII, we were attacked AND THEN germany declared war on US. SOuth Carolina opened fire and then declared war while the North attempted to resupply the fort. Yet ionus says (and several agree) that the North was the aggressor. Thats as simple mided as "States Rights" and "The War of Northern Aggression"
