“True, we [lawyers] build no bridges. We raise no towers. We construct no engines. We paint no pictures - unless as amateurs for our own principal amusement. There is little of all that we do which the eye of man can see. But we smooth out difficulties; we relieve stress; we correct mistakes; we take up other men's burdens and by our efforts we make possible the peaceful life of men in a peaceful state.”

It reminds me of when Bronco would announce he is not a candidate for certain jobs. Dude, nobody thought you were.
This guy just got out of watching UVa vs William & Mary. One of the better days of his broadcasting career.
"Did you know that Bronco lived in an RV when he first got here?.....ok, I'm out of interesting facts about the guy."

Well, because he thought it was good sport. Because some men aren't looking for anything logical, like money. They can't be bought, bullied, reasoned, or negotiated with. Some men just want to watch the world burn.
This article came out after the Charleston church shooting: https://medium.com/marc-ambinder/the...g-773357dbc702
Notables:
- the States Rights Party in Virginia in 1948 adopted the Confederate Flag (CF) after the Democratic Party's platform became more progressive on civil rights, right around when Harry Truman integrated the military.
- Georgia adopted their own design of the CF to protest Brown vs Board of Education, in 1956
- South Carolina flew the CF over the State Capitol in 1962, after George Wallace raised it on grounds of the legislature in Alabama, protesting efforts to more aggressively integrate schools in the South.
Yep, the Confederacy was all about commerce and States Rights.
Oh come now. It was just a coincidence that they were all slave states. Correlation is not causation, you know.

Yes, interesting. I'd never heard of PragerU but is clearly right leaning. Did you happen to watch any of the other offerings?: College Made Me a Conservative, Taxes Are Killing Small Businesses, Government Can't Fix Healthcare, Black Millennial Female & Conservative, Facts Don't Care About Your Feelings, The Inconvenient Truth About the Democratic Party......and many others. Quite entertaining.
