Town Hall

Perhaps, in the throes of this nasty season, we should change our country's slogan from 'The land of the free and the home of the brave' to 'Land of 10,000 lawyers.' But, of course, there are so many more lawyers than that. Don't get me wrong. My beef isn't with attorneys, but with the need to consult attorneys every time an American citizen would like to open his or her mouth to say something political. Or worse, a group of citizens band together to say something more effectively. How did this come about?
