Quote :
"--"More and more, the intractable problems in our society have one answer: broad-based intolerance of unacceptable conditions and a commitment by many to fix problems."

"


If a Supreme Court Justice is supposed to write opinions, could you tell me what Harriet was saying in the above quotation?

she was discussing the socio-economic status of the late eighteenth century mexican-indian minority and the impact it had on tequila trade with the southern united states and what impact that may have had on the civil war and the reconstruction era.

DUH.

""We have to understand and appreciate that achieving justice for all is in jeopardy before a call to arms to assist in obtaining support for the justice system will be effective. Achieving the necessary understanding and appreciation of why the challenge is so important, we can then turn to the task of providing the much needed support.""

""An organization must also implement programs to fulfill strategies established through its goals and mission. Methods for evaluation of these strategies are a necessity. With the framework of mission, goals, strategies, programs, and methods for evaluation in place, a meaningful budgeting process can begin.""

"We're on a mission, don't get in our way; God is the leader, it doesn't matter what you say!
Lives that we save are worth any cost A right to life for all that agree with us

Infiltrate blasphemous strongholds, Oh this is it, put them on death row. You can't find me, you can't find me I'm right under your nose. We won't be finished until we force the clinics closed

Oh no, we've seen the writing on the wall
The Lord has spoken
Oh no, we've seen the writing on the wall
How can you to stop us?

We will take back our communities from you perverted, homosexual, baby killing freaks.
In the name of God and country and the right to bare arms by any means necessary, we'll fight for what is ours!

We've had enough of this liberal facade, destroy the nuts & hippies, the anarcho-commie squads,
we're a moral majority. We've even got leaders on your leftist run TV. "

reads like a stupid person being pretentious. I guess that's an asset for a lawyer, though.

she should just follow orwell's rules:

Quote :
"(i) Never use a metaphor, simile, or other figure of speech which you are used to seeing in print.

(ii) Never use a long word where a short one will do.

(iii) If it is possible to cut a word out, always cut it out.

(iv) Never use the passive where you can use the active.

(v) Never use a foreign phrase, a scientific word, or a jargon word if you can think of an everyday English equivalent.

(vi) Break any of these rules sooner than say anything outright barbarous"

I think she took some of Bush's hyperbole pills, the ones that make him talk like an 8th grader.

That's lawyer double-speak, so no one can really say she said something specific, since nothing truly specific can be gathered from those statements.
