True, but all the foreign lawyers on Languish are from another common-law country (Canada), and even they are repulsed by the idea of having a jury award damages.
True, but anyone, lawyer or not, who researches and thinks about the issue will be repulsed by the idea of having a jury award damages.
The future is all around us, waiting, in moments of transition, to be born in moments of revelation. No one knows the shape of that future or where it will take us. We know only that it is always born in pain.   -G'Kar

I think it's a safe assumption that any praise Europe gets is uttered with an implied caveat that it doesn't apply to Italy. :P

Your fault that you didn't let the secessionists go.

Oddly Marty's Europe really consists of the northern half of Germany and the area around Paris.
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011
