[edit] Things that amuse me
I'm an attorney & an entreprenuer, specializing in innovative legal education through means such as the Attorneys Assisting Citizen-Soldiers and Families (AACF), Lawyers For Warriors blog, and Washington State Bar Association's Section on Peace Through Law[1] (including our program of educational events, see Lawyers for Warriors CLE 12/27/2007. I'm also reprinting the Memoirs of William Sampson[2], the writings of an important early American/Irish human rights lawyer.
[edit] Quotations that should be less obscure
- "I often wonder why men set so much value upon ancestry. For as all moralists agree, that fraud and violence prevail in this life over gentleness and virtue; so to say that we had great ancestors, is too often the same as to say, that we descend from great knaves." - William Sampson, "Causes of the Troubles in Ireland" (1817), [1]
- "When a man finds a conclusion agreeable, he accepts it without argument, but when he finds it disagreeable, he will bring against it all the forces of logic and reason." - Thucydides
- ""Ours is a world of nuclear giants and ethical infants. We know more about war than we know about peace, more about killing than we know about living." - General Omar Bradley
- "Any time you hear the United States Government talking about wiretap, it requires --- a wiretap requires a court order." - G.W. Bush
