“Nobody outside of a baby carriage or a judge’s chamber believes in an unprejudiced point of view.” — Lillian Hellman
(Wow! Unbiased judges, who only follow the rule of law, used to be the norm! Imagine that, folks. Be well and do good, friends.) — YUR

“follow(ing) the rule of law, used to be the norm…”
I don’t know, unc.
Some courts and some judges do it better than others, but I’m not ready to say that any court does it well.
Human bias is such an insidious part of our nature.
I’m biased toward your blog even though I get nothing from it. What logic justifies that ?
Human bias !
Like I implied, lwc, they’re more the exception these days . . . unfortunately. Lillian grew up/lived in a time when most judges knew their jobs were to resist their baser nature.
But, if you get nothing from this blog, you do realize there are plenty of options out there? Knock yourself out, big guy!

Actually, I enjoy commenting on your blog.
For the first couple weeks I didn’t comprehend what I was seeing. That might have been because our newspaper doesn’t have the Cryptoquote and on some Sundays, the Jumble here is different from yours. It took a while before I realized the Jumble is not the same everywhere.
Your subscribers bring up ideas I haven’t usually considered. Then I feel inspired to interject ideas of my own. I just hope what I write makes sense. There’s no one nearby to fact-check me.
So . . . you DO get something from my blog? That’s nice to know. And . . . you know you are always welcome here, lwc. — YUR
