Is it all just about politics? It's OK to play with people's lives if the end result ends up in your favor?

First time I heard that "definition" was on a Redd Foxx record back in the '70s, and it was old then. He also had a bit on "subpoena", with 'sub' meaning below and you can take it from there...

Thanks for the memory tickle!
