You are a fool, just as your namesake, who thought himself smarter than the some of the greatest philosophical minds in history.

Socrates, Plato and Aristotle are quoted often, to this day.

Yeah, let's quote some Aristotle, why don't we?

Who is the citizen, and what is the meaning of the term?

...Leaving out of consideration those who have been made citizens, or who have obtained the name of citizen any other accidental manner, we may say, first, that a citizen is not a citizen because he lives in a certain place, for resident aliens and slaves share in the place;

...But the citizen whom we are seeking to define is a citizen in the strictest sense, against whom no such exception can be taken, and his special characteristic is that he shares in the administration of justice, and in offices.

...a citizen is defined to be one of whom both the parents are citizens;

Now your going to tell me Aristotle was a nut or a liar or something...

Another Bitch-Slap from the past for you.

Diogenes was a jerk towards the Great Philosophers of Greece.

Greek law has little to do with American Constitutional Law.

My point, of course, was that Diogenes of Greece was a nut case, just like you.
