To me it's media matters - from freedom of responsible expression, to appropriate economic & political climate for full range of access to ideas, discussions and dialogues, as well as producing varying points of view, creative problem solving, and coexisting with others of differing viewpoints & positions - valid or not in any one person's mind.
I think the most pressing legal issue is the imbalance of powers - in our government & legal system, as elsewhere - that tends to favor interests of business, corporations especially, over individual rights, and the good of our communities.
The wealthy as a whole have greater access to remedy, and public policy is pushing the small voice to the side, along with compassion.
L-Fee. What's the cost for having our complex environment, and wanting swift but fair justice that doesn't cost an arm-and-a-leg. Taking a look under the hood, PopTrash Legal focuses on the buzz: What works? What doesn't? Why are we so distracted by the stories that detract from attention, and perhaps solution, to the meaningful?
Where do you stand on Roe v. Wade?
Last Week's Survey
