    As for being on the spectrum, I own it ever since my four year old son has been so diagnosed. Boo-fucking-hoo.
    Just to be clear.....

    ....are you actually bragging about making a career out of suing people?

    I did not read the opinion and offer no opinion of my own on the merits of the case or the benefits of the win, but I will say that suits like this add to the long list of evidence that proves God loves lawyers.

    On a more serious note, egregious abridgments of freedom seem to spark egregious acts by those acting to lessen the shackles on personal liberty. I may not agree that Zeleny moved the needle, but I admire his willingness to make change happen by working within the system. Nothing is more American than acting out against tyranny. And he did it without violence.
    Thanks for your kind words. In my native land, there is a tradition of schooling the state in its own laws. I started out in the fall of 1976 by joining the ranks of the Moscow Helsinki Group. Eleven years earlier, on 5 December 1965, my hero and future drinking companion Alexander Esenin-Volpin said it best: “Abide by the Constitution! Understand the laws as they are written, not as the authorities interpret them.” Words to live by in our constitutional republic.

    No, not that. I made the point of standing up for my rights. Prevailing in civil and criminal lawsuits is incidental to this commitment.

    Consider the alternatives. In my native land, problems like mine are solved with lead or poison. I’d rather rely on due process.

    Speaking as one of God's chosen people, you'll get no argument from me.

    Help me out here, snookums. Is this some kind of neurotypical slur, like my failing to realize how out of the norm my behavior is, and not getting to shag the prom queen? Do you normies sincerely expect everyone to toe your line and hanker after the objects of your concupiscence? How does this outlook coexist with appreciation of the pistol, as the plebeian counterpart to the ultima ratio regum? Wouldn’t you be better served by bending over and taking it like a man from anyone stronger or richer?
