A simple observation, right?
Simple statement?
What if I told you that that sentence right there is a legal one?
What if I told you that so much of the language we've grown up using, as English, is in fact, what the legal world refers to as 'Legalese'?
What if I told you that our vocabulary is one of the biggest, if not THE biggest, methods of manipulation the legal world (Democracy) uses for our enslavement?
What if I told you the legal world exists to keep us out of the lawful one?
Is there a difference? Damn right there is.
Wand to read the lawful version of that sentence?
"Their mom and dad (folks, etc.) put the kids in their car and went traveling (for a ride, cruising, etc., anything but driving or operating)".
Huge discourse these days about freedom vs. slavery, and rightly so. If you don't already have one, to give the eyes a rest from the screen from time to time, acquire a Black's Law 4th Edition law dictionary, in book form, and spend a little leisure time just reading. That activity ALONE will go such a long way toward understanding this reality around us, and getting us thinking lawfully, where freedom is, vs. legally, where we've BEEN thinking.
