45. thats my point ..it can mean anything!!
i remember being in a lawsuit and a my lawyers pointing out to me the word.."may"...they used a quarter as a point of reference..

they held out the quarter in their hand..and said..my may take this..you can have it ..you may have it..and they tried to force it on me..and another lawyer was telling me don't take it..

so i may take it ..but i didn't have to...there was nothing that could make me take it..

then they changed the word..to "Must"...

you must take this..and they held the quarter out ..and forced it into my hand..because they said i "must " take it...



well the way Gore is using the "plan " word..is very simliar..it can be used for any different meanings..

there is no right or wrong in it..

it reminds me of the " MAY and Must" illustration..


Oh and the lawyers were right..i was in a lawsuit and the judge said i "may" accept a settlement of money offered prior to going into court and having a jury...

i didn't ..because May did not mean must..

and i won in front of the jury alot more $$...and made the asshole's insurance co..of the guy who hit me headon pay alot more ...


oh and i don't take any of this stuff personally..Ghost in the Machine..this is politics..and since i am now in the twilight of life..i get it that words can mean many different things to different people..

we all have hopes and wishes and opinions..loves and fears..and experiences......gosh ..isn't that a wonderful thing..

and we have all walked in different shoes..we should be different and have different opinions ..and choices.

but we should discuss those differences...and debate..those differences...and we should seek to learn the most we can..after all learning is what really keeps us safe and secure.
