[Coco] Amazing!

Lawyers are a self-perpetuating evil - we need lawyers to defend
ourselves against lawyers.  They like to use obfuscating language to
conceal their real intent.  Also they like to use Latin phrases to
describe legal actions.  How many of us are familiar enough with Latin
to understand set cases?  Here in Canada there was supposed to be
legislation passed to make legalese into proper English (and French)
so that the average person could understand what was going on.  It
doesn't seem to be happening (quel surprise).  Luckily for me I was
raised Catholic when everything was still in Latin and so I understand
most.  A bit of French also helps.  I don't know if you guys in the
U.S. have "voir dire" but you better bring your lawyer ( and then
dispose of him/her).
