That's a huge leap! All I said was I believe laws should be written, and legal procedures set-up, such that they are clear and able to be "followed" by a somewhat intelligent person. They are NOT done that way today. > Yes, the laws are ridiculously complex And there is no need for them to be.

I have YET to see anyone need a lawyer to resolve anything on the LUG. EVERY issue I have seen her HAS been resolved, without the help of a lawyer.

Again, this is a GROSS statement of overdependence. <BIG snip> SOME lawyers have their place, I have never said otherwise, but there is NO need for so many of them, and for people to be so dependant on them for things that should be simple. This dependence is imposed. Thank God the 10 Commandments weren't written by any of our present day lawmakers. Austin - -- To unsubscribe, see http://mejac.palo-alto.ca.us/leica-users/unsub.html
