What if I were to place some words, like, say, blow, and then, a bit later on, I decided to move on up the literary ladder and inject the notion of a mental wall.

Now let us say I have militant tendencies and I have arms at my disposal, and if I had the inclination to use those arms to defend my self against an oppressive colonialist regime, then instead of harming a person today, I could just as easily destroy a slab of cement; a slab a day.

This, by law, is perfectly legal.

No court in the world would dispute the legal standing of this wall. The wall, cutting down the length of the West Bank and with it, the aspirations of millions of Palestinians, is illegal and therefore Palestinians are well within their rights to exercise their rights.

Every Palestinian has the right to tear down that wall. It is perfectly legal to do so. In fact, to oppose this action is a criminal offence.

And were I to suggest words, like aim your arms, and with a relevant amount of separation, I could say, "at the wall", instead of, say, targeting people on the other side of this abomination, I do not think I can be accused of harm; indeed, I may even save a life or two.

I certainly would not be doing anything illegal because, you see, it is my right to defend my self and it is my duty to uphold the law, not the wall.

I repeat. It is absolutely legal to destroy the wall, it has no legal grounds what so ever.

How you choose to do so is your right, exercise it!

After all, "Nobel's Safety Blasting Powder" was not originally designed for use on people. Make Alfred proud, use your dynamite for a noble cause, and empower yourselves.
