Discourage litigation. Persuade your neighbors to compromise whenever you can. Point out to them how the nominal winner is often a... real loser--in fees, expenses, and waste of time. As a peacemaker the lawyer has a superior opportunity of being a good man. There will still be business enough.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »
In a nominally egalitarian society the ideal situation (socially speaking) is one in which the members of the "wrong" groups have ...the freedom to engage in literature (or equally significant activities) and yet do not do so, thus proving that they can't. But, alas, give them the least real freedom and they will do it. The trick thus becomes to make the freedom as nominal a freedom as possible and then--since some of the so-and-so's will do it anyway--develop various strategies for ignoring, condemning, or belittling the artistic works that result. If properly done, these strategies result in a social situation in which the "wrong" people are (supposedly) free to commit literature, art, or whatever, but very few do, and those who do (it seems) do it badly, so we can all go home to lunch.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »
