(4) Adversary system (do I need to explain what this is?) Yes! :) Is it not clear that the playing field is uneven? Yes! Is it desirable to level the playing field? Yes! How can this be done? I don't know! :| I don't have a particularly negative view of lawyers, btw. Much like cops, who I know a lo...

Yov, I hardly know how to respond to what you are saying, other then to say that no, I don't believe that it is "the anti-Christian" lawyers that are to blame. That's not what I was saying at all... One involved a situation where a person was terminated from her job because she was listen...

Cut n paste from b77: Okay, just got back from seeing it. I've never read the book so this is a unbiased opinion. SPOILERS obviously Overall grade - C at best Good things: I enjoyed the whole opening sequence. The WWII bits and the interaction of the children was nice. They had character and it was ...
