i agree it doesn't look like this kid was a miller follower, but he wouldn't have to imitate his language to adopt some sort of mixed theory of "political grammar".

and miller isn't the only person who is making Sovereign arguments about names, grammar, language, and the constitution. at least that's my impression, i'm not an expert on sovereign theory by any means.

sovereignity is kind of an attractive theory, i can understand why some people like it, even tho it's ultimately nonsense.
I've only read a little about it... It doesn't attract me because I wouldn't want to live that life style, just to see if it's true.

I guess it's hard for me to wrap my head around a person going crazy over grammar, lang, or related to the gov with grammar, or whatever. Not saying that isn't the case, he for sure had some issue with it - it's just hard to contemplate that craziness.
