I am from Holland so not aware of the meaning of this 13th amendment which P. is mentioning in Dear Mr. Man...

What is that all about?

14th amendment
just read the lyrics

"Ur thousand years r up
Now U got 2 share the land
Section 1, the 14th Amendment says:
No state shall deprive any person
Of life, liberty, or property
Without due process of law"

P did his homework

here is section one of the 14th amendment

Section 1. All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the state wherein they reside. No state shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States; nor shall any state deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws.

basically meaning oppression of any person is not allowed with a law being included
this amendment is often broken in this country

Well, not entirely sure what you meant, but very generally, it means that a state must through a process ("due process") such as a trial/conviction, etc. if it is going to deprive someone of their life (death sentence), liberty (throw you in jail), or property (seize your assets).

Ah yes, "Dear Mr. Man"... possibly the most scathing indictment of The Man since Conspiracy Brother, if not Nat X. And at least as comical.

Im still contemplating that phrase
lol one of my colleagues might have said it was refferred toward the jewish community...
oh lawd i hope its not
i don't need more anti-semitism threats at the org lol

i think its refferred toward the US govt
opens up your eyes on why P moved to CANADA lol

My first thought was that it was directed at the Jewish state, i.e., having to share the land. P needs to stay away from politics. I thought as a JW, politics was taboo. Then again, I'm a political scientist who dated another political scientist who was also JW. The hypocrisy demonstrated was unbelievable.

C'mon now laylow, don't go generalizing on me .
Just because JWs don't participate in politics doesn't mean that P can't express his feelings about what's going on. We're all affected by the same stuff.

"We tired of ya'll!"
