We've dealt with these conflicts since Alexander the Great's teacher 384-322 BC, Aristotle, went from pupil of Plato to spiritual erector of the Western university, what Moses is to Temple or Jesus to Church. The halcyon version where critical thought was the overarching dogma of dusty shelves became his legacy. 2026's digital dynasty resembles his executioners who laid sacrifices to altars of Athena, Zeus, and Apollo, running him through with swords for asking so many questions. He laughed at them that day, knowing right from wrong.

     In today's Tabernacle, the greatest wrong is observing polarities. Citation of crime is criminal. True crime is an illness making the perpetrator a true victim - dead bodies and ruined innocence are mere symptoms. Why? I can point my finger at two factions for American decline as global superpower, our devastated moral fortitude, and engendering of communal warfare. Dual professions have eroded our nation radically and expeditiously since the 1990s - psychology/psychiatry and the legal Leviathan.

     Currently we've got an Executive Branch led by a rare non-lawyer aside from the Texas business-titan Bush's and the movie star in the '80s who held open those Oval doors for their corporate poker buddies. Not coincidentally I'll wager uncanny levels of vitriol began before our current entered his campaign due to this. For the same duration all three branches were almost intrinsically barristers. An associate of mine in prison, a Black Muslim legal aide notably expressed his approval of today's POTUS stemming from how he "doesnt even see red tape". I asked if he believed the constant racism claims who as if reading the rear of our first-lady's coat responding with hand wave "I don't care, do you?"

     In the '90's frivolous lawsuits restructured America. From product labeling and packaging to insurance rates wreaking havoc on businesses nationwide, litigiousness became the essence of "our" capitalism. Living in Holland in '98, a noticeable and refreshing difference was the absence of this burden. Entire families in rusty Ferris Wheel cars, giggling kids riding the handlebars of bikes careening through traffic like America in the 60s, and grown men resolving disputes bare-chested and -fisted on the sidewalk. Expatriates I met blamed lawyers too for trading our birthplace's exciting and envied soul for lucre. The only people who prospered from this culture-shift were lawyers with generally unremarkable payers, like an obese Californian threatening to sue Olaf, my Dutch coworker, for all the misspellings and gibberish of his US company-aimed resume'. Luckily this kindhearted fellow with teeth suitable for opening oil cans was clueless to the meanings of a cannonade of obscenities and lawsuit threats hurled at him. I informed with my hands and broken Nederlands how moronic the agitated party was, believing overseas legal precedent would occur for a 10 guilder ($20) document service.
