In the meantime, I would begin a journal and start taking notes (with dates/times) on what you have been told, observations you have made, etc. This may be helpful both to the lawyer as well as anyone else when you are asked to recall things. This way, it's contemporaneous note-taking as your reference, and not some attempted recollection from some time considered long past.

Maybe it's time to get rid of sovereign immunity for the police and make them personally liable for infractions on the rights of the citizens they're allegedly serving. In the last 30 years, it's remarkable how much more police forces nationwide have turned into paramilitary organizations.

I would have just assumed it was Grand Rapids.

More than one of these folks has admitted they simply "don't get hangovers." They could be lying, but with the amount of alcohol they can drink and still be perfectly functional the next day, I bet these folks skew the average.

There are clean air standards for taxis? I'm not sure how well they work, since about half of the taxis I have taken recently (worldwide) have had the engine light on, indicating a likely emissions problem. Since taxis drive so much, an emissions issue on a taxi for a month is probably equivalent to a year on many private vehicles.

That said, even private vehicles have clean-air standards in any state (like mine) with emissions inspection requirements.

Two of only three fatal 777 crashes ever were MH planes. They were both total losses and both in the last five months. The airline has some work to do.

Maybe I haven't had enough coffee this morning. Can someone explain how you would get second best in this case? Wouldn't you never meet a candidate better than the best of that first group and exhaust the rest of the candidates?

If you are interested in talking to someone else with a speech impediment, reply to this and I can link you up.

I think you can be fairly confident, though, that 99.99% of people you would ever care to work with could not possibly care less that you have a stutter and will be more than patient. Often, the stress of trying to speak and not being able to get the words out can start a vicious cycle. You can almost guarantee that they are more than happy to hear what you have to say and won't pay any attention to any speech impediment.

It's always a shorter hop than people think from today's in-crowd to the gulags of the next group to come along.

Actually, a lot of the debate about eminent domain is who is on the receiving end of the property. Eminent domain is supposed to be about the taking of private property for public use. E.g., building a school. It gets a lot more dicey when you start taking A's private property and making it B's private property.
