Bill Gates says in 15 years there will be no more newspapers. Nirvana will arrive the same day the Washington Post will not.
Medicine is inexact.
Law is devious, hindering, impeding, obstructive, stalling, delaying, dragging, frustrating, thwarting, and up to its ass in fine print. It is, in a word, derelict. Worse, in our time, journalists run to lawyers as penitents to priests, exalting them as pundits, and encouraging them to turn the national dialogue into a pettifogging rhetorical swamp. Media is a sinecure, and an egregiously over-paid one. If the Fourth Estate has an oath, it is to uphold and protect and defend the funny pages.
