       Silly thought:Much of what lawyers and judges do, observing from the outside, seems to be interpreting words other people wrote instead of just asking the authors what they meant.... there has *got* to be a smarter legal system than this O_O.[mandatory disclaimer: this observation is *probably* wrong? I really hope it's wrong. I'd hate to be right.]

       @pixelherodev In case of some statements it’s not about what the author says he/she meant afterwards, but what most people understood he/she meant in that specific context. Especially when these statements tend to be associated with violent acts, for example: “we need to get rid of all filth in our society”.
