No one should shirk their obligations. Honor your obligations, of course.
But on the other hand, don't let the system railroad you which is what the vast majority of people allow through their own actions at at their own hand.
Furthermore, this government and its courts are supposed to be your courts, yet most people understand not how their courts work.
Here is an idea: how about one learns to conduct their own affairs in court rather than delegating it to some fiduciary whose allegiance to his pocketbook or his court friends could be of greater value in his or her mind than your rights and interests?
A little education goes a very long way ....
African-American males in particular have a disproportionate likelihood of being within a court in one manner or another.
How about learning what its really all about so you can put up an intelligent defense by yourself and not participate in your own railroading?
I absolutely agree again! In fact, i think i've started a thread about Jailhouse Lawyers!
Brothers are often shown demonstrating great legal skill, study, and expertise ... after the fact ... while locked in their prisons!
Some are so good, the prisons appoint them as legal counsel to other inmates, or some such carrying on!
It's just a tad bit late at that point though, and if we could get Brothers to put that kind of energy in, prior to being locked up ... man oh man!
I absolutely believe in our ability to do all things better, or at the very least, as well as anyone else!
All we gotta do is want it.
Love You and Thanks Again!
