What’s written down on paper, what that writing implies (or rather, what it leaves room for), and what actually occurs in practice are three very different things.
The people that support the new law see number one. The people (like me) who are against it see number two. But number three is what will ultimately make or break the law, and is what the two factions are debating on.
That being...

“This is my fifth time at the top of the world,
But I’m waking up in a sinking ship!
I’m all alone with a fear of the dark,

Last fall, I took a class about language. It really kind of blew my mind; language is still a huge mystery to scientists. Are we born with these abilities? Is it genetic?
Language is such an ambiguous thing, too. There’s a theory called the Sapir-Wharf hypothesis, which basically states that your language will shape your view of the world, because each language has unique words that are...
