patriarchal logic

1. Please tell me again, and in natural language if you please. What happened? Do you mean to say that a patriarch -- that is someone righteous, noble and of good standing in the community -- made your life -- that is to say the life of someone irrational, irascible, and irrelevent -- somehow worse? I'm afraid I really can't draw a mental picture of that scenario at all. So please tell me about it again, and once again, be sure to employ only conventional language.

2. Those people at Guantanamo? Of course they were all guilty. How do we know? Because they are have post traumatic stress disorder. They wouldn't have it if they didn't have something they wanted to hide from us. It's just lucky that we caught them as soon as we did, before they destroyed civilisation.
