Today I have to talk to a couple of lawyers concerning the Action that the Seafarers International Union has filed against me. From the legal research I have conducted, it does not appear that they have a valid case and they are only attempting this suit to harass and embarass me. If that is their motive, then they will fail miserably.

Sure, they have lots of money--the members money--to fight me in court. I have none and will have to go up against their phalanx of lawyers by myself. I am up to the task, but will the courts listen to me? That is doubtful as most courts frown on litigants handling their own legal matters. There view is that it may dilute their oligarchy. If enough people decided to stick together it probably would. That scenario would certainly make our courts better and freindlier forums for the average man.

Unless you have a case where the lawyer is pretty certain they realizing a good bit of cash, they are not interested. It is not about justice and it is about an uppity game played by a few arrogant men and women. In recent years the practice of law has become a game for a few individuals to hopefully gain access to the good life. The good life they seek is achieved at the expense of the masses and is an abominable situation. Are there decent, caring lawyers? Yes, but many of them get out of the system rather than succumbing to the system.
