Greetings all! It's been quite a while. I've lurked a bit, but have been very busy at work (knock on wood), plus my wife's mom passed away - still dealing with that.

I perceived them as just one, homogenous, lock-step-in-their-ideology bunch, dedicated to the public perception of their cause and EAJA money. I have always found their stand on WEMO, and the a...

How to make a process fair is a really sticky question. My wife is a child-care professional, taking care of pre-schoolers at a corporate employee day-care center. She reminds me that including all of the kids in her room in an activity is crucial to avoiding emotionally negative responses. Remember...
