Of course, the above is not to imply that I wish to limit your voice in any way, shape or spindulated manner.  Your contributions to this forum are much appreciated. I simply wish to let you know that, well, you get the idea.   ;D  Carry on.   

My name is Fazio. Yes, that's Sicilian. :exp-grin: :exp-laugh: :exp-laugh:

From the moment you open your mouth, it's game, set, match for them. I prefer to be entertainment for a kitty or my wife.   ;D
Excuse me?
No, we are unable to take the case on contingency or pro bono. Sorry.  Now, if you will excuse me, I have an appointment with a paying client. Best of luck to you, and God Bless you.   :exp-laugh: :exp-laugh: :exp-laugh: :exp-laugh: :exp-laugh: :exp-laugh: :exp-laugh: :exp-laugh:

                                       

       

       Agelbert you hot ticket you, I am crying tears and roaring with laughter.                               

How dare you hide these talents as a master comedian from the Diner forum for so long?

Please Agelbert, drop the duckweed and renewables for a week or so and continue upon this side splitting path, I beg you.

Masterful works AG, sheer MASTERPIECES.

Lighten up Ashvin, we all know your one of the good guys; let's face it, AG is one funny bastard, and on quite a roll with this one.    :exp-cheesy: :exp-grin: :laugh: :laugh:

When an Aborigine meets a Lawyer.  :laugh: :laugh: ;D ;D    [smg id=2684 type=full align=center caption=""]

                                                                               


GO,
Glad to be of service.   

I can not only do comedy, I can also do a bit of low grade poetry: 
In days of old, when I was bold
And my prostate was not inflated
I taught them flight, got them over their fright
and damaged airplanes were prevented
  :icon_mrgreen:

Now for some serious Law stuff here!  Ahem! My vast and thorough perusal of jurisprudence (and juris-imprudence too;D) has uncovered these gems from a former Supreme Court Justice with a love of Sherlock Holmes novels and an encyclopedic knowledge of the law, why there is law, what it is supposed to do, what it isn't supposed to do and, more importantly, what it REALLY IS ALL ABOUT.   8)

“Every society rests on the death of men,” he liked to say. If a nation needs soldiers, it seizes young men and marches them off to war at the point of a bayonet. If an epidemic breaks out, it forces the public to get vaccinated.

He said THIS, which sounds quite good as a defense of the Court system.  ;)

Quote
The language of judicial decision is mainly the language of logic. And the logical method and form flatter that longing for certainty and for repose which is in every human mind. But certainty generally is illusion, and repose is not the destiny of man.

As a  lawyer, I can CLEARLY see he used that word "language" twice. Notice he DID NOT say that ALL judicial decisions are BASED on LOGIC, although one COULD interpret that quote in said legalese fashion.

But other famous quotes from him show that he knew the score and wanted us to know it as well.  8)

Quote
Law is not being based on logic, but on experience.

Most of the things we do, we do for no better reason than that our fathers have done them or our neighbors do them, and the same is true of a larger part than what we suspect of what we think.

A man is usually more careful of his money than of his principles.

Young man, the secret of my success is that an early age I discovered that I was not God.

Certitude is not the test of certainty. We have been cocksure of many things that were not so.

Any two philosophers can tell each other all they know in two hours.

Don't be 'consistent,' but be simply true.

Truth is tough. It will not break, like a bubble, at the touch, nay, you may kick it about all day like a football, and it will be round and full at evening.

Every event that a man would master must be mounted on the run, and no man ever caught the reins of a thought except as it galloped past him.

Man's mind, stretched by a new idea, never goes back to its original dimensions.

Beware how you take away hope from any human being.

The only prize much cared for by the powerful is power.

He knew government is a compromise where the citizenry gets certain benefits but the lion's share of those "benefits" will always be controlled by an elite establishment. I think he just didn't want the elite establishment to become a dictatorship. But, considering the goons that populated the high court then, he was a breath of fresh air; a very BRIEF breath of fresh air in our descent into empire and fascism.  :(

Please excuse this blatant and coarse attempt by yours truly to use the old  appeal to authority fallacious debating trick to sound erudite, polished, knowledgeable of law (and so on,  etc.  ;D). I protest any accusation of low class buffoonery! I never met Oliver Wendell Holmes and never argued a case before him! So there! If he happens to be on the same page as I am on issues of LAW and juris-imprudence, good for him! ( and me  ;D - Any port in the storm and all that. ) ;D
He that loveth father or mother more than me is not worthy of me: and he that loveth son or daughter more than me is not worthy of me. Matt 10:37
