For us to talk, argue, try out ideas, tear down and build up thoughts, assimilate and appropriate concepts – heck, just to be together in public – we have to grant all sorts of leeway. That’s how ideas breed, how cultures get built. If any public space needs plenty of light, air, and room to play, it’s the marketplace of ideas.

I know lawyers who can’t spell computer, much less find the power switch. I know lawyers who think they know a lot about computers, the Internet, the terminology, etc. I know one lawyer who ”gets it.”

Unfortunately, all of these lawyers think they know what’s best for society and those of us who are ”ordinary people.”
