Once judges start making analogies no one knows what they will come up with or what they will use as a ‘precedent’ when they attempt to make their decision seem at least marginally logical.

My Mother’s friends watch that show and take it very seriously, so my Mother checked it out and wasn’t exactly impressed. She didn’t think that most of the roster would have been noticed at a high school dance. She likened it to watching someone taking dancing lessons, rather than professionals dancing.

I am more convinced every day that not watching televisions keeps my mind active and aware.
