Quote of the Day: Personal vs. Community Rights

Found this one listening to the Radio West podcast. The interview was with Philip K. Howard, that wrote Life without Lawyers. (With apologies to all the lawyer bloggers, this really isn’t a negative view about lawyers at all. The name is misleading.)

There is this kind of general notion, that is still the presumption in this society, that a law suit just a dispute between two parties. But that’s not true. What people can sue for establishs the boundaries of everyone elses freedom.
