05-365 SEEGARS, SANDRA, ET AL. V. GONZALES, ATT'Y GEN., ET AL. The petition for a writ of certiorari is denied. The Chief Justice took no part in the consideration or decision of this petition.
Part of the tyranny we chafe under, is bueracracy(can't spell that word) and another big bite on the behind in the same vein is the judiciary. Why in the wide world of sports do we have to wade through tons of LATIN, a dead language, and all the other legalise terms as if our justice system were on another plane of existence.Yeah, I know, our justice system IS on another plane of existence, ask anyone who has been divorced, like me. But why the hell is that? Since the average person pays the freight in this country, but can't understand this jibberish, who is served but the blood-sucking lawyers and court flunkies and judges who are a mixed up bag of flotsam as I've ever seen. I am enslaved by this crap, and I want it to cease.
Yeah, some of it is to keep the non-mystics from learning the magical incantations for themselves, part of it is to create smoke and mirrors and a complex labyrinth that the uninitiated dare not enter, but part of it is because the Founders were versed in Classical culture and adapted from the best of it--as for the legalese, it also works in your favor, anticipating contingencies and providing for workarounds. So it's definitely a two-edged sword.
Still, I'm reminded of the Groucho Marx routine, where he's reading a contract:
"The party of the first part shall be known as the party of the first part. The party of the second part shall be known as the party of the second part.
"You should have been to the first party. Didn't get home 'til four in the morning. I was blind for three days."
