| ironman said: Sorry about the double post, but this was just too good to pass up, I have a good friend who is a lawyer, which I realize isn't as prestigiouse as being a student of the law, but it is as close as I ever want to get to that profession. Reguardless of where a case is tried, in the case of a large corperation vs. a single person the court is more leniant with the lone person given the fact that they cannot afford the caliber of legal representation that a corpration can. I never said that a judge just rubber stamps these cases, but they hare more understanding of the individule and that is a fact. Also, with the law on their side (TARP, PROP8 and HUD) there is no question that the prosecution will win most cases.

Oh, OK. So you KNOW lawyer. I'll come to you next time I need legal advice.
We had two bags of grass, seventy-five pellets of mescaline, five sheets of high-powered blotter acid, a salt shaker half full of cocaine, a whole galaxy of multi-colored uppers, downers, screamers, laughers…Also a quart of tequila, a quart of rum, a case of beer, a pint of raw ether and two dozen amyls. The only thing that really worried me was the ether. There is nothing in the world more helpless and irresponsible and depraved than a man in the depths of an ether binge. –Raoul Duke
It is hard to shed anything but crocodile tears over White House speechwriter Patrick Buchanan's tragic analysis of the Nixon debacle. "It's like Sisyphus," he said. "We rolled the rock all the way up the mountain...and it rolled right back down on us...." Neither Sisyphus nor the commander of the Light Brigade nor Pat Buchanan had the time or any real inclination to question what they were doing...a martyr, to the bitter end, to a "flawed" cause and a narrow, atavistic concept of conservative politics that has done more damage to itself and the country in less than six years than its liberal enemies could have done in two or three decades. -Hunter S. Thompson
