Yes, but which party staunchy 'misinterprets' the 2nd ammendment so Homer
can have his cache of assault weapons "cause 'looky right there--that's what
it says in black and white, now git off my porch ya varmit!" while adapting
others, "Well, what they *really* meant to say was this or that...", or
"Well, that was written for back then, but we have to interpret it this way
in todays age."
I mean, if TJ mentions some sort of divinity, what he really was doing was
'being flowery...' and a creator really doesn't exist so we can
ignore/remove that... but don't take away our guns, cause #2 says we can
have 'em...
Well, whatever.
