All to true, the lawyers just use the tools the gov't supplies them with
in accordance to the wishes of the masses.
But, what would it be worth to me if my 25 pound Meade scope on it's
flimsy tripod fell over and broke my foot? And the reason it fell over
was because the scope wasn't balanced properly and when I hit goto it
just went too far?  :^)

judgements are different
