2015: The Year in Review

January 1, 2015:  Young Odysseus, can you hear the voice of destiny singing?  Unbind your mind, and let it follow your heart on the journey!  Law school remains an incredible experience, its teachings both invaluable to the person upon whom the gods bestow it as well as to the Rule of Law and the preservation of virtuous post-liberal western society.  Despite being drenched with the digital, barbaric firehose of factless internet defamation, law school administrators and professors continue to not only run estimable institutions, modern colleges worthy to succeed the Platonic Academy, they do so at great personal and financial sacrifice.  The students, young Apollos and Athenas, meanwhile, benefit tremendously, gaining an educational toolbox that, while not a vulgar trade school in any way, shape, or form, allows them to construct million dollar careers in addition to the mental fine-tuning enabled by mastery of jurisprudential thought processes that will have them slicing Gordian Knots in three years flat.  They may not solely, or even, practice law, for the titanic versatility of the mighty juris doctor allows law school graduates to literally perform any occupation, from philosopher to Senator to philanthropist.  That certain dystopian state actors would derive some newfangled testing technology to tell us who gets to don the garb of Icarus and soar to the sun is disgusting and an affront to our most sacred virtues.  Finally, while law school certainly is expensive due to the high demands of technology as driven by elite students, the costs of legal education, often reduced, are worth it in light of government programs that seem fairly adamantine despite their constant amendment, as well as, of course, the Midas touch upon one's future income stream.  Like Tantalus, your hunger and thirst will be quenched; like Prometheus, you will receive first-rate medical care; and like Sisyphus, you will achieve immense personal satisfaction in each day helping to move the boulder of social justice further up the mountian-side of iniquity.

Basically, the audience, it seems, is into Greek.  Any questions?
