General (and silly) Legal Disclaimer
In a perfect world of First Amendment freedoms of speech and expression,
I could present legal advice on this web site and you would be free
to follow it, laugh at it, or anything in between. But we don't
live in a perfect world, do we? That's why if I were to give legal
advice, I could potentially be charged with the crime of practicing law
without a license, and possibly face other legal repercussions as well,
as I am not an attorney, and am not licensed by any government to
practice law or give legal advice.
The problem is that our legislatures are made up of attorneys, and
these attorneys have passed laws making it a crime for anyone to
infringe on their line of work. I don't necessarily blame attorneys
directly, since I speculate that if farmers replaced these attorneys
tomorrow, it might soon be a crime to grow food without a license.
I believe it is simply the way that power corrupts people. Our
federal government is some 210 years old. Age is good for wine, but
cancerous for government.
Now I absolutely do have a first amendment right to give legal
advice. I believe any law restricting that right is void for its
unconstitutionality, but one of the things we learn is to choose
our battles wisely, and fighting for my right to give you legal advice
is one I choose not to fight today (although that right is in no way
waived).
For that reason, nothing on this web site is to be taken as legal
advice or construed as recommended legal action for any person
because it isn't. I present all information here for educational
purposes only. Any use of any material found anywhere on
this web site by any person is done at that party's sole discretion,
risk of loss and/or reward. For legal advice as to what you should do
in your particular situation, you may need to consult with a competent,
licensed attorney, provided you can find one with both those
qualities.
Furthermore, all visitors to this site are invited to verify for
themselves all facts presented at this site, and for that matter, any
other site they might encounter. While I and many others do our best
to only present the facts about the law, unraveling the legal maze sown
by 200 years of legal sophistry no easy task and a job that is never
done. Accordingly, I reserve the right to alter the claims made on
this site as my understanding of the law progresses.
Also, there are a growing number of links being made to this
site, and most web page links make claims about what is advocated
here. Usually those claims are accurate, but I have no control over
what others say, so when in doubt, please leave those claims at the
linking site. I furthermore do not necessarily endorse the
content or philosophy of any site that links to mine, though I often
do.
Finally, any successes (or failures) I document on this site are no
guarantee of similar success (or failure) for any person choosing
to engage is similar activity.
I take full responsibility for my actions, and I think everyone
else should too.
