Why can't we Define the presicency? Define what war is? Define why we war? Define the war on drugs, Define what qualifies a man to be president?

Let's define some shit too.

1. Because they're the only ones allowed to define things.
Where have you been? Didn't you know that?

2. Look how they define "Peace", and "Democracy", & "Compassion"
They've actually redefined EVERY THING.

3. I would like to define a lot of things
Like Democrocy...as being elected by the MAJORITY of voters...50%or more
Like Citizenship...as bing only applied to a living person...
And freedom...as being without exception.
And so on.
