I mean exactly what I said.

Then I'll assume you mean it in the sense of "dictate," and where, exactly, is the line between that and "influencing" the law?

Or perhaps you need someone to define 'is' for you...

A pretty poor attempt at deflection, friend.

You can assume anything you want so far as I'm concerned. That doesn't mean you're right. It's already clear that you're either unable or unwilling to read my posts for comprehension, so I see no reason why I should try to explain myself until I'm blue in the face (red in the joints since I'm typing).
