--Michel de Montaigne, Of the art of discussion.

Babs, populist defender of free speech and the environment against callous rich people who think property rights trump everything. No, wait. Strike that. Reverse it. The lawyer representing the defendant, I am proud to say, is a partner at my very own firm. I am not, alas, involved in helping to defend this particular client.
