        No. Unfortunately Latin is a dead language and virtually no one speaks it. I can decipher/ read it with occasional need of a translation dictionary. I am however interested in the origin and root of our language and Latin is a very big part of it. It is also fun to communicate in a dead language as it forces one to investigate and learn. It also serves to inspire other curious readers.

        I don't speak it either, but I do know a bit of it.
        
        I'm impressed with your knowledge of it, though.
        
        I look at Latin as just another logic puzzle.
        Very cool that you have a grasp of it.

  hey, you missed yet another gulcher referring to body parts(nasty) when responding to my logical comments! I did stay on point but then had to meander all over their post, because they were rude! Ladies were present! :)

I read this while the theme from Justified was playing.

Went together like peanut butter and jam!

  I am just now watching the Justified series. He is justifiably good looking

Very good. I'd like to see Armed Populace rather than Armed Forces, but your point is really well done.

  pirate, interesting, but would change the meaning and provocativeness well to another kind of provocativeness

  Perhaps the man in HK could be considered an "armed force". ;)

      It may be the straw.... but a straw was just a matter of time. We shall see.... I wish he had a true gulch to go to :(
      Barry, and his, will try to debunk this in every way possible...watch the scrambling..it's on the news..all the king's men are pointing their fingers and calling him everything except what they should... a HERO and someone who takes the oath to uphold the Constitution SERIOUSLY.

        Grind 'em out! And add "someone's watching you" to them as well.

        He may have had a 'Gulch' that he could have gone to: From the Guardian interview with him,
        
        "He views his best hope as the possibility of asylum, with Iceland – with its reputation of a champion of internet freedom – at the top of his list."
        
        My guess is that he didn't go to Iceland due to extradition treaties?
        
        Hope he somehow makes it there....

  Thank you.
  And I agree: whether or not to even post this piece gave me a lot of angst.

        Attribute it to Papa Possum and include the copyright info, and go right ahead.
        A link to the Papa Possum blog would be appreciated as well.

    I know you know this feeling, but when I'm getting up to do something like your posting of this, something that makes my stomach all wiggly, I remember that I want to be able to look the person brushing her hair in the mirror in the eye, and not drop my gaze.
    My moments are mostly vocal and in public - I'm sometimes an applause junkie.
    It's going on my FB page, too, later tonight.
    thank you.
