Candor compels me to confess that one is on me. The Safire list was not numbered, and when I wrote the post, I cut and pasted his list, in the impression there were 12. When I edited it before posting, adding the numbers, it came to 18. In the spirit of the whole thing, I just went with it. Luckily, I have enough willpower to control the driving ambition that rages within me. When you had the votes, we did things your way. Now, we have the votes and you will be doing things our way. This lesson in political reality from Lyndon B. Johnson "Some things are apparent. Where government moves in, community retreats, civil society disintegrates and our ability to control our own destiny atrophies. The result is: families under siege; war in the streets; unapologetic expropriation of property; the precipitous decline of the rule of law; the rapid rise of corruption; the loss of civility and the triumph of deceit. The result is a debased, debauched culture which finds moral depravity entertaining and virtue contemptible." - Justice Janice Rogers Brown | |||

Assuming you are referencing my reply above. "There are only three words in the English language. What is the third word?" It's a trick question. The question is not looking for another word ending in -gry.  | |||

As you told us, “what is the third word.” QED Luckily, I have enough willpower to control the driving ambition that rages within me. When you had the votes, we did things your way.

I should have known better than to think a wordsmith such as yourself would have been fooled but the quote was in the form of a question; "What is the third word?" | |||
