The classic, "mistakes were made" political quote. I love it.
Abusive-driver fees repealed -- Heads of State, Virginia, Timothy M. Kaine -- dailypress.com: "The Virginia-only provision sparked widespread grass-roots anger. As accident and arrest data poured in, state leaders learned to their chagrin that the threat of fees as high as $3,000 didn't improve general driving behavior.
'In the earnestness of trying to solve the transportation issue, a mistake was made,' said Sen. Edward Houck, D-Spotsylvania, who sponsored Senate Bill 1 in the 2008 session to repeal the fees. 'This was simply the wrong way to go about funding transportation. And today is the day we correct all that.'"

Why do I write?
To make myself a better writer. I read someplace, sometime ago, that every person has a certain amount of garbage that he has to write to get down to the good stuff... the good writing, which is inside everyone. I think another way to say that is that the more garbage a person writes, the more likely that he will improve. I will write here to keep my law school writing from becoming dry but add polish, and to keep my here writings from becoming legal but add spice. That is what I hope.

My sine qua non
sine qua non \sin-ih-kwah-NON; -NOHN; sy-nih-kway-\, noun: An essential condition or element; an indispensable thing.
Why do you think Holly is on my page so much? (Although, not a thing, unless you call her a beautiful thing in the world...but, still, calling anyone a "thing" is a strech. Give me a break, it's latin!)

What are my writing styles?
There are several roles of writing that I use. The first is creative, the unorganized, stream of consciousness style which is whimsical, and, hopefully, sometimes funny. The next style which somewhat refines the creativity is the structural builder who organizes the creators thoughts into a set of coherrent ideas. If I have time, I'll also use a groundskeeper to smooth my writing and clean the rough spots to give a well polished, easy reading, depiction of my ideas. Can you figure which posts are written in which style? Enjoy.
