The listener gets to decide what the intent of the received message is, not the speaker. Once the words have left his mouth or pen (or keyboard), the listener is then in control of the message's interpretation.

I am not mad or upset at anyone. I was just defending the right (actually a privilege here) of hawgly to state that he didn't think this song belonged here. On another forum (another music one, too!) a discussion was going on about Aurora and 2nd amendment rights. A canadian and Scot were blasting the US for having the right to bear arms, but not having the "right" to universal health care. I tried to explain that a right is something that is natural and can be taken away from you by government (mankind has "armed" themselves from before the caveman days), but that healthcare was a benefit from society that you have to pay for (somehow). But like all political discussions, no one's mind actually gets changed so it is starts to become a time-waster.
