> There exists in such a case a certain institution or law; let us say, for the sake of simplicity, a fence or gate erected across a road. The more modern type of reformer goes gaily up to it and says, "I don’t see the use of this; let us clear it away." To which the more intelligent type of reformer will do well to answer: "If you don’t see the use of it, I certainly won’t let you clear it away. Go away and think. Then, when you can come back and tell me that you do see the use of it, I may allow you to destroy it."

qnaal··on Germany's Wi-Fi Shortage Set to Ease as Merkel Backs New Bill
> I live in the US since 8 years and still misunderstood it.

in particular it's hard to tell whether you mean 'since I were eight years old' vs 'for a span of eight years'

also, a native speaker would probably use tense such as "I have lived", so casually, "I've lived in the US for 8 years and still misunderstood it."

and noone ever uses whom, but you probably used it correctly

ps you typoed 'possibly be' and 'it'
