ORIGINAL: Termyn8or Y'all don't understand liberal time. (or math) I don't know the Latin phrase for it but it goes that if something happens even before a republican does it it can still be his fault. Just like ten grand a year and ten grand deductible is saving money on medical insurance. T^T Well, there's the old law school saw that goes: post hoc ergo; propter hoc (Literally: after it. Therefore, caused by it). This term is usually used as a tautology since, it really proves nothing. Ex: I stop in a convenience store, buy a pack of smokes, smoke one and then I get in my car and back into a car, pulling in. The cigarette I smoked didn't cause the accident. I'm just trying to be helpful, here: Sarcastically, it could be: pre hoc ergo; propter hoc (it happened before something. Therefore it was caused by the thing that follows). That's close, I guess? Michael I am quite familiar with the phrase but it does not fit. Post hoc ergo propter hoc means it happened after and therefore was caused by. what this is is that it happened BEFORE and therefore was caused by. As long as it was a republican. Sorry, I am not breaking out a Latin book for it, and I blew off my buddy a couple weeks ago so I can't call his son in Colorado who is an expert on Latin so we are on our own. I am not stron on Latin but it seems the proper phrase would be like "Post hoc (something else) propter hoc". I don't even want to think of a Google search string that would get us an answer for that. T^T
