security of person

[majicdragon]

when you have a person, you have the security of your person, because it is attached to your person and you have your person. simple ?

when you abandon your person, you are entitled to the security thereof.

Errrr ... that's not my comprehension of the matter.

In my head the word 'security' is reference to a financial instrument.
Same as a lender may insist on taking security of an asset to secure a loan to the borrower.

A somewhat controversial example [on this forum anyway :D ] would be the mortgage on your house.

You may have use of the house, but the bank holds title as security.
Similarly, you have use of your 'person', but you may not hold title nor control the security of the 'person'.

i certainly hope you are wrong don't you?

From what I have read and researched; I'm not.

my friend told me about a group of native americans who live somewhere on a boarder of canada. they do not receive birth certificates. however, when they turn 18 years old, they get 10 million dollars.

so please come with me on this majical journey and let us discover instead of cover.

i know we could cover and smother anything with doubt, but let us not do that in such important matters.

in the first post, read again at the authoritative tone of the writing.

this sounds like someone who has already figured it out. no?
