    magic eyes; lawyers' client choices

    I know I wrote on another thread that I'd not read any more of GBT's posts, but I had no idea I had such incredible powers of concentration that I could make them literally invisible to my eyes!

    =)

    Glenn, I know that lawyers can't be (and shouldn't be) LEGALLY judged on the basis of who they've chosen to represent, but surely any individuals not only CAN make such judgements, but inevitably MUST or WILL do so, especially in the most obvious cases? Not all morality and can be codified into law. Isn't this really what omooex is expressing?
