If I believe in freedom of speech then I'd better be certain that I don't say anything bad concerning powerful men with expensive lawyers or they will bankrupt me in style

Oh, very cool, insightful poem. BTW - Thanks for your comment on my poem "Divinity" - There is no hidden meaning behind the tulips names "Dark Beauty" and "Flaming Parrot" - Those are the actual names of the flowers. I was struck by those names and thought they would be lovely to use in the poem. :-)

The reason Satan took the form of a snake was because there were no lawyers back then. An attorney is a legalized prostitute. In America we don't judge a man by the size of his crime but by the size of his wallet. The bigger the wallet the more rights he has. If assholes could fly, Washington would be the workld's largest airport. Vince
