It is about time Hollywood got their scripts from groklaw

Given the tired plots Hollywood keep rehashing in their movies, it is about time
they looked elsewhere for plots, SCO vs the world and Apple vs Samsung would
have made good starting points.

I used to examine my conscience before I posted comments about Mr. Hogan

Could anybody in their wildest dreams have come up with a plot for a book like this? It would have been rejected faster than you could say "Jack Sprat". The characters would just be too unbelievable.
I recommend reading "Titus Andronicus" by William Shakespeare: the characters are so unbelievable that the authorship has been contested solely on that base, starting shortly after Shakespeare's death.

Having been in a similar situation where I sat as an alternate on a jury and
having been given/heard both the evidence and the jury instructions it is not
altogether surprising that the jury made mistakes. The jury in case I sat in on
made similar omissions/errors in their interpretation of the jury instructions.

What surprises me is that the Jurors would talk to the press. Mr. Hogan should
have realized, after the first interview, that there could be problems and just
shut up. Unfortunately, he didn't so he gets to pay the price.

I notice that, as one (as in 'someone else') gets older, there is a hardening of
attitude as opposed to a freedom of understanding.

Velvin is 67 (years older than me - more or less) and I would guess that he has
transmuted from being forthright in his youth to being a curmudgeon.

curmudgeon: a crusty irascible cantankerous old person full of stubborn ideas.

Of course, that could never happen to me. However, I see my friends transition
from viewpoint to attitude whilst remaining delightful company.

Even though their intellectual capacity is undimmed such that logic, argument
and fact will get them to accept that their position is wrong, not long after,
they revert, stubbornly, to their original position.

No, that is absolutely never going to happen to me.
