    Every time I see these threads I have to post the following, just to add some levity. I try not to think about it too much, and I certainly try not to TALK about it too much. It seems to me that around here the subject is on the same level as gun control ...

    The law the lawyers know about

    The law the lawyers know about
    Is property and land;
    But why the leaves are on the trees,
    And why the winds disturb the seas,
    Why honey is the food of bees,
    Why horses have such tender knees,
    Why winters come and rivers freeze,
    Why faith is more than what one sees,
    And hope survives the worst disease,
    And charity is more than these,
    And stropping works (at least it seems),
    They do not understand.

    Apologies to H. D. C. Pepler

    Aahhh, thank you, Carl. Methinks this is an excellent note on which I will unsubscribe from this thread.
