I like it. Warriors. Lets just start a rumor on twitter or Facebook and say its officially been changed.

Warriors, are you serious? You're perpetuating the stereotype of Indians as bloodthirsty scalp hunters. Don't we want to be known as peaceful farmers who lived in harmony with others and only fought as a last resort to defend our people?

You don't like lawyers? Well, one one hand they are arrogant, condescending, self important leaches on the society. But on the other hand...

Sorry, that was all I had...

I understand that we live in a litigous society where lawyers are a necessary evil

I'm with you on the "evil" part but I'm not sure about the "necessary." And you just described my life right now. I'm trying to buy another business to add to my collection. The seller and I went through all the negotiations and worked out all the details. My lawyer drew up the contract. It's fair and works out great for both of us. Now we've gone into a holding pattern while his lawyer pads his billable hours with inane points and suggestions to drag it out with stupid proposals even he knows I'd never accept and only provide a marginal benefit for his client even if I did at a great cost to me. My favorite was I take the shares in his C corp rather then buy the accounts and assets. The guy is just a moron. This isn't in his clients interest, it's in his. And as you say it's "billable hours."

He was supposed to provide his next round of idiotic suggestions I'm going to reject yesterday, since it's 7pm Good Friday I'm thinking it happens next week. I hate lawyers.

Thank you sir! I've been busy and it's the offseason. But I wanted to catch up on the draft discussion before next week so I know what's going on.
