Suburban Lawyer Rants by Jason T Olivier

Now we reap what we sew.  We have two media darlings battling it out for the highest office in the land, and is there any doubt that they are only satisfying their egos?  Trump has no sense of decency, and Hillary has no sense of shame.  He is a bully, and she is entitled and angry we don't agree.  How did we end up here?  Its the relentless dumbing down of America, the lack of any civility, the removal of God and the minimizing of the rights of society as a whole over the rights of individual sub-groups, the spoon feeding of entertainment disguised as news and the ever lowered expectations of us and our country. Congratulations.  Its time for society to enjoy the fruits of its harvest.  Me?  I'll pass.

I know a bit about Tom, and more about his brothers.  They are gone now, and I loved them both.  They were good friends.  I was blessed to sing at one of their funerals.  Tom was at best an acquaintance and tough client.  Even today when I see Tom I am never sure if he recognizes me.  Which reminds me of rule number one- Tom hates lawyers.  If you weren't Stanley Rosenburg, his long time friend and attorney, you were just another shark.
