Either there's a deep, intellectual point being made here that we're all better off for the system, that the alternative is worse, or you're being purposefully ironic. Or Dutch's point.

Or the fourth alternative...jtstang's married and must buy things for his wife. Which may be a subset of Dutch's point.

Fogetaboutit. When the G.W. library opens , you can drop the young'uns off there before the game, and they will have hours of fun coloring in the books. No further need to worry about the grassy knoll.

Im pretty freaking pumped for the library. Its going to be legit and bring in alot of quality students.

Also my bad to the lawyers, my cousin is a SMU lawyer so I just joke around with her and likewise with you guys. Even though do have some feelings towards criminal lawyers who enjoy getting criminals back on the street.

Kids were running full speed down the hill and sure enough one of them smacked his noggin into the retaining wall. His idiot dad was not watching his kid at all. Seriously, somebody is really going to get hurt over there.



As an insurance defense/risk management guy, I've had the same fear and wish they would install a huge padded buffer on the back side of that wall

Man thats crazy, suing should be a last resort to reach an equitable judgment, not a way to profiteer.

true, but when the other party doesn't see it that way, it's nice to have a good attorney on your side.
