The entire legal system is an anachronism. Legislative procedures are an anachronism. Courtrooms are an anachronism.
We keep electing lawyers and they keep legislating more power into the legal system that is a relic of the 18th century. However, lawyers continue to thrive at the expense of the taxpayer.
You bet and ya seem more cash registers in your local courts today, than ya see at the local Walmart.
Stay far away from the legal machine at all costs. It cuts people to pieces.
