I understand the rage. I am actively in the picture. I don’t know what to think. I guess “sitting on the fence” may be inaccurate an expression for me because I may just sleep on that fence. I want that wig, the gown, too. I want to be a lawyer so bad. I see the […]
Do you know the Genesis 11 story? Well, a bunch of people say they’ll build a tower into God’s house. Perhaps they don’t want Him to be their God any longer. They draw up the architecture – fancy! God watches. They mold bricks, get tar and exchange their gold bars for iron rods. God still […]
And the third was gifted to the Black Robes, who above all else desire power – Law What’s the law? A course in jurisprudence answers this, and tells intriguing tales of how the law operates to create functional societies. According to Salmon, if ‘science’ includes the systematized knowledge of any subject of legal inquiry, jurisprudence […]
