Marsha underwent a DNA upgrade, and in about 7-years, when her body has accepting her entire DNA upgrade she will be 5-inches taller. As of today she will be growing a tiny bit each day. It remains to be seen if all or only some children of DNA upgrade patients inherit their parent's upgraded DNA.

"Freedom of Speech" is a way of wording the "freedom to speak" in a way that distances the speaker(s) from the act. Humans do not "speech," they speak and can give a "speech." Calling that freedom the "Freedom to Speak" encourages people to speak more often and for longer swaths of time than when it is called the "Freedom of Speech." It is time to start using the expression which encourages Americans to SPEAK UP more. " God is in the details."

Word Court is currently trying the word HAMBURGER, LIPSTICK, BIRTH CONTROL, CRIMINAL JUSTICE, and others.
NARRATOR
Welcome to Word Court, where words go on trial.
SECRETARY
Today, we will hear oral arguments in case number 52-67-42, Consumers v Commercial Users of the word HAMBURGER.
JUDGE WORDY
Mr. Prosecuting Attorney, please state your case.
PROSECUTOR
Your honor and members of the jury. This class action lawsuit is against the individuals, businesses, and corporations which use the word HAMBURGER to get consumers to buy what they call hamburgers, but are really dead cow flesh sandwiches. They do so by indirectly saying that the dead animal flesh is a meat which is or contains HAM. That is a false statement. Ham is more expensive than beef because it is made from a cut of a dead pigs’s leg, processed, and preserved by adding salt and other spices. Ham is made around the world including regional specialties such as Westphalian ham, Spanish jamón, Italian Prosciutto, and Smithfield ham in the US. The curing process takes from 9–months to a year.
JUDGE
Thank you, Mr. Prosecutor. We will now hear the defense attorney.
DEFENSE ATTORNEY
Your honor and members of the jury, the facts you just stated make it clear that the word HAM does not belong in the word HAMBURGER. Hamburgers should be called beefburgers or meatburgers, not HAMBURGERS.
JUDGE
How do you clients plea?
My clients plea "nolo contendere",
and apologize to everyone for having used the word HAMBURGER.

Employers post a help wanted ad, interview candidates and hire the ones they see will be more productive. They pay each employee a salary. By hiring a worker employers, some of who are in reality slave masters, have shifted the burden of maintaining a slave from themselves to the employee because now the employee is the one who must obtain his or her own food, clothing, shelter, and transportation. That is what salaries are for, and that's why some 'Help Wanted' ads should really be called 'Slave Wanted' ads, some employees a 'salaried slave,' and some employers 'slave masters.'
