Erin sent me a link today to an article about Lawrence Lessig, lamenting the tyranny of copyrights. There was a typo in the link, however, so I got this message instead:

Evidently Tsujigiri is now in violation of Stanford's copyright on that phrase. I wonder if they'll sue me... Didn't Thomas Jefferson or some other ass hole say that "A just society preserves its peace only when every trivial liberty is deemed to infringe the legal rights of another, so that no man dare piss off his neighbor, and so that the citizens shall quietly collect dirt on each other, thus binding each other's actions through the constant balance of threatened suit and counter-suit." Actually, isn't that the definition of the Social Contract? It is time we all accept the truth of modern culture and start refering to lawyers as "priests." They alone are what stands between civilized life and the jungle.
