Government, Freedom of Speech, People

**Birthday Countdown: 3 Days**

Welcome back, my compadres. I just wanted to talk about a few things.

I have reinvented the game of "Rock, Paper, Scissors" into metaphorical terms of government. There are still just Rocks, Papers, and Scissors, but the question occured to me long ago. My thoughts were: If the rock crushes the scissors, and the scissors cut the paper into uselessness, why does the paper just cover the rock? It makes no sense that destruction is the name of the game, yet one thing only sets on top of the rock to win. So I began thinking. Maybe I should just change the "paper" to something that the scissors could still destroy, but would also destroy the rock. This didn't work. It took a lot of thinking, but I Googled the game. It says that paper is a "metaphor", which made no sense, because the game would have to be a metaphor (by the way, you just lost the game!) and it isn't. Only paper is. It said paper had more power than rock because it had the power of writing. This makes sense, but not to the rest of the game. It's completely irrelevant! Scissors destroy paper, rock destroys scissors, paper just wins because it's cool like that. No! I disagree. The game is a metaphor, though. It is a metaphor for government.

Lets change the name, keep the form. Paper is now Freedom of Speech (FoS), Rock is now Government (G), and Scissors are now The People (P). The government has power over the people which means G>P. The People are SUPPORTED by Freedom of Speech, which means the people win BECAUSE of FoS = P>FoS. THEN, Freedom of Speech is used to TELL the government what it's supposed to do and what the people want. This means that the People's act is used. Freedom of Speech is USED to defeat the government in the game, as Freedom of Speech is used in the real world to tell the government what we want.

Get it? Good.
