[QUOTE="Chesterton, post: 70487128, member: 225709"] I looked up Penn & Teller on Wiki, it says they're a magic act. Doesn't say they're artists. No one in the video claimed what they did was art. Here's the definition the framers would have known, from an 1828 Webster's American Dictionary of the English Language: [INDENT][B]SPEECH[/B], noun 1. The faculty of uttering articulate sounds or words, as in human beings; the faculty of expressing thoughts by words or articulate sounds. speech was given to man by his Creator for the noblest purposes. 2. Language; words as expressing ideas. The acts of God to human ears cannot without process of speech be told. 3. A particular language, as distinct form others. Psalms 19:2. 4. That which is spoken; words uttered in connection and expressing thoughts. You smile at my speech 5. Talk; mention; common saying. The duke did of me demand, what was the speech among the londoners concerning the French journey. 6. Formal discourse in public; oration; harangue. The member has made his first speech in the legislature.[/INDENT] It's as if I said "it's illegal to print money" and you respond "but the U.S. Mint does it". Whatever. There's at least one mod that doesn't care for the word, but the people would be [I]"slow or limited in intellectual or emotional development"[/I] -Webster's New Collegiate Regarding art I haven't said anything to waffle about, in spite of the fact that you are desperately wanting to discuss art in a thread about flag-burning. :D I said no such thing. Don't put words in my mouth. [/QUOTE]
