Bill,
With all due respect, I could see how this post could become something
we would all regret.
Just sayin.

mr obamaha arrived in germany and quoted kennedy
"im a hamburger"
trying to mean im from hamburg
the problem is that in german the meaning is VERY SUBLTLY different
it means " i AM a hamburger"
ie
"im a mcdonald's pattie"
it just doesnt quite have the gravitas a potential american president needs

it depends on the jurisdiction :
in america (as the films would have it) you just need two tables and four chairs for prosection and defence, set at the same level to each other (but below and equally in front of the judge)
in england the accused is put "in the dock"
he is below and either to the side of the judge, or behind the prosecution and defence lawyers
but he is above the prosecution and defence (both whom are on the same level) and both equally in front of the judge
one thing that is similar (at present) is that there is a jury

Well that depends too. If you're suing a multinational company, the defence side needs only one table, but fifteen chairs for all the lawyers (barristers)!

Fellas, Fellas, Fellas,
I am talkin about the frame and panel construction on the walls of 100 center street seen in
every Law and Order episode since day one.
Now I can do that. And I can build a dang fine bench, along with a very pretty pew.
Might as well add in a confessional box too.
But I draw the line at chairs!

I know Bill,
But even before I wrote that statement, I read this from snopes
I then thought it was more appropriate to take this thread in a different direction,
so no one would look silly or political.
But hey, I can only do so much.
Actually I do have a confession and a hobby.
I am a amateur political scientist who is fascinated by the use of political operatives in the dissemination
of propaganda on the internet. From here in the US to the ability off a bunch of freaks in caves to use the new media.
There was a time when only Government had this power.
That is no longer the case.
"If you tell a lie big enough and keep repeating it, people will eventually come to believe it. The lie can be maintained only for such time as the State can shield the people from the political, economic and/or military consequences of the lie. It thus becomes vitally important for the State to use all of its powers to repress dissent, for the truth is the mortal enemy of the lie, and thus by extension, the truth is the greatest enemy of the State." Joseph Goebbels.
"A lie told often enough becomes truth" Vladimir Lenin.

Everyone,
All right, I've never revealed my political leanings in this forum. Neither have I revealed my leanings when I have met forum members in private.
This thread has inspired me to reveal all and tell everyone where I stand both in the current election and politics in general.
Just kidding.
It's something I would love to do, as it would feel great for the moment as I'm typing it out. But in the end, it would be like a bad chlli dog at a carnival.
Nothing against chili, or dogs.
My name is Matthew, and I approve this message.
