Esquire is not a title of nobility, that Esquires is a title of nobility is
a destroyed argument, that has been defeated in many court cases, and there
is no law that prevents ANYONE from useing that title, unless it is used to
dupe someone into beliving they are a lawyer when they are not.
I have a Certyfied copy of a state constitution with the "missing" 13th
contained within.
No "Sir" Isn't one either.

Well, searching on the term "missing 13th Ammendment", I came up with these
links:
http://w3f.com/patriots/13/13th-01.html
http://www.nidlink.com/~bobhard/orig13th.html
(which are actually the same piece). With respect, this material strikes me
as paranoid hogwash. The plain language and common-sense historical context
seems to indicate that this text was simply an example of anti-monarchical
revolutionary rhetoric, mean-spirited aggression toward loyalists and
anti-British chest-thumping. The interpretation this author puts on the
text
is right up there with the best "black helicopter, New World Order, secret
UN
troops" type lunacy.
