Amen, and Amen -- In North Carolina the politicos from the state to the local level don't even care what the public thinks about this issue -- They've distributed sominex in the form of assurances from state law schools and the NC Bar owned and run state legislature.
The locals either don't understand the issues, WANT the sominex osmosed into their constituents, or believe that speaking up on THIS issue gets them a free ride into the NC Bar owned and run media's political "freak-of-the-week" zone. (At least that's the impression Union County, NC municipal and county leaders give.)
Whatever the case, the NC State and local Bars and Bar Associations and the powerful friends they use like cheap whores, when necessary, for the ultimate benefit of the NC legal industry (that is, when they can't whore themselves, as usual, for their own benefit), prefer the silence. This is especially true in light of the fact that EVERY NC Real Estate document is a creation of the NC Bar, and every Real Estate law and transaction in NC drives money into the NC Legal Industry, which uses the NC judicial system to do its will --
As long as we keep taking the sominex. . . . Wait till you see what's next on the American legal industry's agenda! Don't just blame the politicians and politics -- Blame the lawyer-politicians who have the penultimate control over how politics works itself out locally, and then at the state level, and then nationally in the lawyer-politician run Congress and American Bar owned and operated SCOTUS. County and municipal paid lawyers make law every time a county or municipal board meets, and the lawyers at the state level are nothing but gleeful.
Look at what is happening in Indian Trail, NC and THEIR municipal lawyer's SCOTUS-like legal determinations as a very SIMPLE example!HDR
When lawyers write the laws they build in litigation into every bit of wording. It is called job security in legalese.
The rest of the world would call it conflict of interest.
