06[10:47] * nemo slaps Threei around a bit with a large dose of reality
[10:47] {dino} thought justice was supposed to be blind
[10:48] {nemo} thus the blindfold on the statue
[10:48] {Threei} funny thing is... in USSR, especially in early years, the most important thing defining person's standing was "proletarian origin"
[10:49] {Threei} one had to have parents from working class in order to be a "valuable member of society"
[10:49] {ese} hmmmmmm
[10:49] {Threei} hearing all this drivel now about how great it is that she is from working class... can help but wonder
[10:49] {nemo} here's another great headline: ttp://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2009/may/29/career-lawyers-overruled-on-voting-case/?feat=home_cube_position1
