    ''...to fetch...''

    Yes, I read the article twice and learned a lot. I first encountered it in a first grade reader for little ones learning reading; it is literature for a child and/or minimally literate others.

    ''...to fetch...''

    Am going somewhere with this as an exercise in simple language. This calls for infinite patience and, it will be fine for bullying members, who can only ever stupidly do personal attack and disparagement, to leave it alone, and take their endless hostility elsewhere because, it is a total downer.

    ''...to fetch...''

    So, the presumption is that were searching for water in an essentially dangerous environ... To make the verse as simple as we can I would edit it to read ''Jack and Jill went up the hill to get...'', which is plain and simple; 'to fetch' is far more complex and opens many contingencies.

    LAW IS NEITHER OBEYED DISOBEYED NOR BROKEN / AN EXISTENTIAL ONTOLOGICAL DISPROOF OF LAW

    Oligos; I am interested to know how it is that we ''obey'' law, how is the obeying actually done? Any thoughts? Duane

    ''...to fetch...''

    Excellent, thank you 009. Yea, twenty minutes, but it is kids stuff, and right up your alley. That is an extensive article, which I will certainly absorb.

    ''...to fetch...''

    Good point! I never ever thought of that, i.e., water possibly not being on a hillside. I have had and do have a spring on a hillside... ''...to expect to find water..." , an interesting initial description of what is going on in the sentence. Yes. I have always presumed they were on their way...

    LAW IS NEITHER OBEYED DISOBEYED NOR BROKEN / AN EXISTENTIAL ONTOLOGICAL DISPROOF OF LAW

    I have posted on philosophy; atheist; police; and,attorney forums; Quora; here; yea, sure, I am designing not to interact with other human beings, but, instead, to appear to be superior to others!? No, that is not my objective, my objective is to interact in constructive criticism with other...

    LAW IS NEITHER OBEYED DISOBEYED NOR BROKEN / AN EXISTENTIAL ONTOLOGICAL DISPROOF OF LAW

    Yes, although, I have been, actually, all along seeking persons who can follow in my Italian, and, TruthOT, though he may not be totally familiar with the idiosyncratic language of existential phenomenology, is clearly an incisively intelligent and perfectly well-written, welcome, intellectual...

    LAW IS NEITHER OBEYED DISOBEYED NOR BROKEN / AN EXISTENTIAL ONTOLOGICAL DISPROOF OF LAW

    TruthOT; ''A fact we must face is that regulations and laws are set up not just to protect people and nature, but also to protect the culture and values of those with the voice to affect cultural norms.'' Excellent rejoinder. In the long term, if the grassroots could learn the actual...

    LAW IS NEITHER OBEYED DISOBEYED NOR BROKEN / AN EXISTENTIAL ONTOLOGICAL DISPROOF OF LAW

    Perhaps you've noticed that I repeatedly refer to law in the context of punishment. We are punishing persons in the name of law which honestly is not determinative of police/prosecutorial/judicial conduct, which state of affairs is graver than a football team being penalized ten yards, or a...

    LAW IS NEITHER OBEYED DISOBEYED NOR BROKEN / AN EXISTENTIAL ONTOLOGICAL DISPROOF OF LAW

    In a legal setting the activists would have had to be able to cite some precedent or other to support their disagreement; there are usually at least two streams of development regarding a given point of law. I just watched a lecture on YouTube where the lecturer claimed that Matthew deems Christ...

    LAW IS NEITHER OBEYED DISOBEYED NOR BROKEN / AN EXISTENTIAL ONTOLOGICAL DISPROOF OF LAW

    'onto' meaning being; 'logos' meaning logic, thus, the logic of being. 'Onto' refers to human being, 'ontic' to non-human being. Interesting, ''...changes me ontologically...'', I wonder how on earth that happens!?

    LAW IS NEITHER OBEYED DISOBEYED NOR BROKEN / AN EXISTENTIAL ONTOLOGICAL DISPROOF OF LAW

    Only human beings regulate their own conduct, not rules, norms, mores, or laws, none of which are acting agents.

    LAW IS NEITHER OBEYED DISOBEYED NOR BROKEN / AN EXISTENTIAL ONTOLOGICAL DISPROOF OF LAW

    In a traffic ticket case once I had a judge tell me he was bound and determined by law; hence it is practitioners of law who make the case that their actions arise and are caused by law. Just think about a bit, every act of sworn police and prosecutorial officers is claimed to causally arise via...

    LAW IS NEITHER OBEYED DISOBEYED NOR BROKEN / AN EXISTENTIAL ONTOLOGICAL DISPROOF OF LAW

    TruthOT; What I am saying is that that is precisely what we in fact have now, i.e., ''...a lawless state...", on account of the fact that we now delusionally believe our language of law effective to both prompt and block human action, when, actually, law is not efficient to determine persons...

    LAW IS NEITHER OBEYED DISOBEYED NOR BROKEN / AN EXISTENTIAL ONTOLOGICAL DISPROOF OF LAW

    Self-righteous antisocial personality constantly proffering detracting unedifying snide remarks fails to accomplish uplifting contribution to theologically-oriented interaction equals being barbarian instead of Christian.

    LAW IS NEITHER OBEYED DISOBEYED NOR BROKEN / AN EXISTENTIAL ONTOLOGICAL DISPROOF OF LAW

    You are referring to functions of our autonomic nervous system when what is being addressed is intentional action. Breathing is a function of pressure differentiation which moves the diaphragm. I place law in a place called failure; an unintended and unwitting failure, but failure nonetheless...
