The principle of the excluded middle, part one

Since being and nonbeing are opposites (i.e., contradictory) and opposites cannot be the same, nothing can hide in the "cracks" between being and non-being. The only choices are being and nonbeing.
Any attempt to deny that all meaningful statements must be noncontradictory, by its very nature very nature a meaningful statement, must be noncontradiction. Likewise, any attempt to deny the law of noncontradictory statement about reality- which is self-defeating. So, like other first principles, the law of noncontradiction is undeniable.
