If I say, "I am free!" I am making a distinction that demonstrates I am NOT free. If I say, "I am not free!" I am making a distinction that demonstrates I am NOT free!

In truth, I don't know if I am free or not and I don't really care!

you're wrong! and it's just because I said so; or some guy in a book said so; either way, you're wrong! so stop living in books or just coming up with things based on your own experience without checking the books first to see if it's right; or both; or neither; whatever - you're wrong!

I know I am more humble than you because I am always looking UP to you!

When you look up "humble" in the dictionary all they have is a picture of ME!!!

I am so humble the word humble is actually spelled S-C-O-T-_ in its original language which, of course, is Scot_ish!
