    Annie

    I know your not attacking me, and I understand what you're saying. My spelling has deteriorated yearly since they invented spellcheck.

    I don't have a problem with the defense of the unpopular. I am a member of one of the most maligned sub-groups in the world, and I appreciate the fact that there are always those who are willing to engage the opprobrium to make sure justice is served.

    Its the profit motive behind law that makes me uneasy, not the defense of the unpopular.
