  1. Just finished the Caro biography of Robert Moses.  Yet another example of how there has always been a majority of stupid/misinformed/passive voters that have to be herded correctly at one's peril. 

    I think the most common voter attitude in the past was apathy and a bit of envy.  The internets have turned that attitude to rage and lots of envy.

    You used to just have to have the big newspapers in your pocket.  It's more complicated now.

    UT has been a laughingstock on sports social media today and it has nothing to do with the outcome of the game.

    It has to to with a bullshit narrative that anyone outside of a few folks responding to bulletin boards trolls even gives a shit.

  3. I don't think it would be a great system but you certainly could structure it so that there are two advocates who owe primary duty to some pre-defined definition of justice or truth.

    The potential for collusion and injustice and the death of truth in such a system would be greater than the current system.

    Yes, thank you, I am aware of all that. But that’s hard to accept outside the legal realm for many because most of us are required to adhere to a higher standard.

    I don't think there is any higher standard than zealously representing your client within the bounds of the law.  

    Unless the higher standard is "double secret zelousness".

    I actually think it's pretty easy to be moral as a lawyer just because the game you play does have lots of rules and guiding principles.

    We are going to find out in a month in South Carolina, my guess is she gets about 35% there.  

    South Carolina's are by nature loyal.  They'll come out strong for Nikki.
