Secretary Clinton speaks the truth about U.S. Drug Policy--Good for her, good for us.

Here's a positive sign. Someone in the Obama administration actually speaking the truth about U.S. drug policy.

Secretary Clinton stated publicly that the War on Drugs has been a failure.

She noted this while in Mexico.

In my previous post I noted how we must honestly address our failures and look to alternative policies.

Excellent.

It was only a matter of time

I guess it was only a matter of time before legal work would be outsourced.

The legal profession in the U.S. is already hamstrung by the incentives to create more lawyers.

Law schools are profit centers and make little effort to weed people out. Why would they when they can get three years of tuition?

With competition so fierce, many lawyers find it hard to stay in the profession.

As an attorney myself, I can speak to the difficulty in generating enough revenue to live a decent lifestyle. The well-to-do attorney is a thing of the past.

Outsourcing of legal work is only another nail in the coffin of a lucrative legal career.

Probably the only area of expertise that cannot be outsourced is litigation. Why?
Courts will always need a warm body to be present to argue motions and conduct trials.

Woman wins lawsuit against cold-footed groom to be---Explain how this is just

I'm a little flabbergasted by this verdict.

This is a woman, perfectly capable of making her own money, and doing so, successfully suing her fiance when he ended the engagement.

Back in the day, when women were economically dependent on husbands and family, this type of lawsuit was understandable. Sometimes it was the only viable option for a woman who had no choice but to bank on a good marriage prospect for her livelihood.

But now?!

Please.

Who will marry this woman now?

I can see the eHarmony headline: "Marry me or I'll sue your ass."

There's a winner.

This guy will win on appeal. I'll bet good money on it.
