 You only have to win when there’s no more money in the bank. John Matthew Rubens ‏@raftofwater 1m1 minute ago

• @business The @ABAesq [American Bar Ass’n] and the @StateBarCA encourage pro bono work largely to make up for the #deficiencies the current bar, justice and legal systems have helped create. This is true primarily in regard to class, culture and particular inside associations, but hasn’t this always been so?

  Yes, we’ve improved, but not from paradise. Woodstock: “We’ve got to get back to the garden.”  Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young. Good luck Team America. Personally, I like the French system, but at the moment, wouldn’t want to live there. Jean-Jacques Rousseau v. John Adams; enlightened socialism v. enlightened people…but didn’t John Adams advocate a nation of laws? A government of laws, yes.

  People start making law and drain the swamp.

People are apt to complain about me. I hope it’s only that justice may be delayed to get it right. Sometimes the parties must pass on or perhaps we were so busy we were now headed in a bull-headed direction and needed respite or research and editing.
