(dictionary)- To plan together secretly to commit an illegal or wrongful act or accomplish a legal purpose through illegal action.
- To plan or plot secretly.
How do you get from "breathing together" to planning to commit something aweful? Politics. That's how. If you move together as a group, you have power. Power in numbers. That's exactly what the political machine doesn't want you to have. Ever hear of "divide and conquer" ?
Relax though. That's not what this website is about. It's just a name. Not even a properly spelled one at that.
