Some lawyer elsewhere got his butt in a crack for failing to put a disclaimer on his blog. Actually, I think giving out non-public info about a still-living client had a lot to do with it, too. Anyway, here goes: This blog has been developed by Roger Curry (that's me) and sometimes I talk about the law and legal stuff. The materials posted on this blog or at linked sites are not intended to create, and do not create, an attorney-client relationship or a representation regarding any potential engagement. Is it even possible that anybody could be so steel-floating dumb to think that reading a blog makes me your lawyer? Pull the other one. Readers should not act upon these materials without seeking professional counsel. After all, what kind of rocket scientist reads a blog and then makes important decisions about her/his life or business? This is an offering in the marketplace of ideas. My opinion isn't entitled to any more inherent credit than yours. For Heaven's sake, read everything with a jaundiced eye. If we all did that, we'd all get along a lot better in this life.
Thank you. There's nothing to see here. Move along. These are not the 'droids you're looking for. Move along.
Roger is an attorney & barrister at law who has labored in the vineyards of the law and the courts for 30+ years.
This blog consists of the personal writing of Roger Curry. All opinions expressed are Roger's. If anyone doesn't like them, Roger can live with that. Roger rejects idiotic political labels and loosely terms himself a "Bull Moose." He is an iconoclastic Boy Scout, retired paramedic and Freemason with faith in God and due respect for the words of Paul (1 Thessalonians 5:19 - 22), freely translated as "Trust, but always cut the cards." He reminds all that sometimes the light at the end of the tunnel is muzzle flash.
The American Civil War, by John Keegan - Much awaited history by a general historian whose history of World War One is basic and excellent.
Washington: A Life, by Ron Chernow - Good bio; The great man, warts and all.
Science Matters: Acheiving Scientific Literacy, by Robert M. Hazen - This is a touch shrill, but the author makes the same point that Richard Muller does, that our public policy is being determined by people who don't know the science behind what they are dictating.
Colonel Roosevelt, by Edmund Morris - The third and final volume of his bio trilogy of TR. This is by far the saddest of the three, documenting decline.
Safe Haven, by Nicholas Sparks - Mind candy. GOOD mind candy.
Steppenwolf, by Hermann Hesse - A reread. I choose not to describe this novel. You're on your own.
Southern Storm, by Noah Andre Trudeau - History of William T. Sherman's Georgia/South Carolina campaign, commonly known as the "March to the Sea." There are, I understand, still real hard feelings in the South about Sherman.
Now and Long Ago, by Glenn Lough - A meticulously researched history of Marion County. It has only local interest, I suppose, but to know intimately the locations of the historical events fascinates me.
Justice: What's the Right Thing to Do?, by Michael J. Sandel - Here is a great idea - Go back to basics and review WHY we see things as just or unjust. If we are confident in our system of justice, we should have the nerve to do just that.
The Enormous Room, by e. e. cummings - You either like cummings or you don't.
The Federalist Papers - Slow slogging. Dammit, this is America, and we are screwing up by the numbers, so a little effort is worth it.
