I have no personal training nor expertise in examining the forensic evidence and advancing conclusions. The folks who do, are unable to agree with one another, much like the situation with global warming. When one expert says that analysis of audio tapes proves beyond any possibility of doubt that there were x number of shots fired...and another expert says that examination of the same source proves beyond any possibility of doubt that there were y number of shots fired...and then expert C says that the entrance/exit wounds make it undeniable that the shot came from....the front, the side, the back, above, below...pick your expert......where does that leave we non experts?

People seem to feel that it is important to pick a position and have a strong opinion about things. I suppose that I used to be this way as well. Somewhere along the line I changed with the realization that if the means to make a definitive conclusion don't exist, then it is okay to not make a definitive conclusion or advance a definitive opinion....it isn't critical that I have such an opinion. It's okay to say "I don't know" when you don't actually know.

Does your opinion "it's okay to say 'I don't know' when you don't actually know" reflect training and experience you've achieved in trial advocacy?

Each of those teams will win when you least expect it, so you need to lower your expectations if you are to have any expectations of their winning. Be careful to not start expecting the triumphs upon lowering your expectations because that will re-raise the expectations and cancel the benefit of having lowered them to their "least" levels.

...sus is the reason why the Boston Red Sox took so long to win a World Series....

...sus is the reason why the Toronto Maple Leafs continue to dwell in mediocrity. It's the expectations.

By the way, the Toronto Stanley Cup Championship Parade committee is meeting tomorrow to continue the 2007-08 parade route

Jerry Falwell is dead. If there is a Heaven, and if Falwell ends up there, what's the first thing you expect God, if there is a God, to say to Falwell upon his arrival?
