Relationship between metaphysics and language arts

The discovery of the planet Pluto in 1930 illustrates the relationship between metaphysics and the language arts. The planet Pluto had been a real entity, traveling in its orbit about our sun, for centuries; its discovery in 1930 did not create it. By being discovered, however it became in 1930 for the first time a logical entity. When it was named Pluto, it became a grammatical entity. When by it's name knowledge of it was communicated to others through the spoken word and also through the written word, the planet Pluto became a rhetorical entity.¹

And when, in 2006, it was reclassifed as a Dwarf Planet, Pluto became a punchline entity.

My Opinion on Flag Burning

If you are going to buy a flag from a store and and burn it, like this..



I may feel uncomfortable, but there is nothing I can do about it. The laws in this country are greater than the physical objects. You may be burning a symbol, but it is a worldly thing. You paid for it. I'm not going to interrupt the flow of commerce.



But...

..if you are going to try to take a flag flying in front of an embassy, a military base, fire or police station, church or other facility in my country's territory -like one of these for example:

A Municipal Park

An Airport

A Boy Scout Camp

Or My Little Friend Here

Well, naturally, I've got a problem with that.
