That's a stupid analogy. It's not reasonable for the rich to expect
better treatment from the courts than the poor.

As Adam Gopnik noted, being smarter than you sound is usually better
than sounding smarter than you are. He could have added that it's
also better than trying to convince yourself that you have a reason to
live by deliberately ****ing off what few friends you have left via a
haphazard jumble of trite banalities and pretending that it's the
result of a nonexistent point of view.

And THAT is just plain stupid. I realize you rarely read the nonsense
you spew here but when you spout spurious accusations about someone
else's "reason to live" you've crossed the line between manikin
nuisance and offensive jerk.


If you are serious about making a living by writing and, more
importantly, expect to be taken seriously, then you should understand
something. It probably doesn't make much difference what it
is......but something. Then, write about that.

I understand this, no student of human nature unfortunate enough
to have read your self-aggrandizing, masturbatory screeds here would
be the least bit surprised to discover that you stand about 5 foot nil.
Your particular pathology is so transparent and predictable it's been
given a syndrome name in the vernacular.

Although, to be fair, I must admit I have never actually seen you
stick your right hand into your vest.
