The meanings of concepts and words change with use, and even the Supreme Court has admitted that the original perspective of the American social contract has been altered by the passage of time. ↗

I invented a paperweight for tabloids so that the winds of change can’t blow them away. I’m calling it a newsweight. It’s the size of Hollywood. I’m dropping it there with a helicopter tonight. ↗
