International Communist Conspiracy (3/3, Fanatic, Communist) is not big enough menace to bring about the change in language. No, this is the work of true masterminding menace, Comrade Billy Klintoon (4/2, Straight, Government, Liberal) and his Arkansas Mafia (6/7, Criminal) - they've been murdering hundreds of these words to bring around their own twisted meanings, just as this book I'm just about to publish will show, along with facts that Klintoon daily kicks small puppies and DRINKS THEIR BLOOD! They call me crazy nyahahaa but I'll show them yet who'se crazy nyahahahaa cuz it'll be too late for them when Hitlery Klintoon (2/4, Liberal) comes to rape their daughters nyahahaa"Spirit merges with matter to sanctify the universe. Matter transcends to return to spirit. The interchangeability of matter and spirit means the starlit magic of the outermost life of our universe becomes the soul-light magic of the innermost life of our self." - Dennis Kucinich, candidate for the U. S. presidency
