The sovereign stuff IS just semantics, a word slap fight with other people... No ONE is sovereign, not even the states, that's why we're all throwing the term around and states go to war. It's a religious idea grafted onto politics. We understand God, the Creator to be Sovereign, but we can't prove it since it is in the realm of faith. Plenty of evidence for it, but a lot against, ergo theodicy, atheism, nihilism, statism, etc. The best thing is to be on the Sovereignty Spectrum. Increase your sovereignty by saying, acting and doing things that a Sovereign, manifest, would do.
