The sad fact about this country is that you have to become atleast a backyard attorney just to cut through the bullshit any more. Its one of the failings of our society that you even need an attorney to represent you in a court. The laws have become so convoluted that not even judges can make sense out of them any more.
My personal opinion is that all laws should be repealed that have been written in the last 200 years and start over with some sort of a resemblance of commonsense.
