The Law is on Your Side

Lawyers succeed by preparing long before the negotiation takes place and are also particularly clever and well educated. They use their superior intelligence to draw out valuable information by confusing with relentless questioning. You are probably not as smart as a lawyer, but if you act like one people may assume that you are just as intelligent.

The lawyer tactic may be successfully employed by using the following techniques:

· Persistently interrogate until you get the information you need.

· Logically argue your case to rationally show why you are right (and the other party is wrong).

· Stick to the letter of the law and surprise the other party by mentioning obscure rules and regulations.

· Fight for causes that are moral and upright.

Example

I live in Seattle, city of dog worship. There are more dogs than children here. Alongside babies being pushed along in their strollers, you will see pup’s in their customized carriages. Don’t get me wrong, I have nothing against dogs, but when their owners bluntly disregard health and safety laws, do I have a problem.

There are several shops in my community that allow dogs, even welcome them, inside their doors. Some stores do not, or cannot, let dogs inside. Namely grocery stores, restaurants, or anywhere food is involved. Regardless of posted signs, dog owners still bring their dogs to ices cream shops, bakeries, and meat markets. A health hazard waiting to happen! There are laws that are suppose to stop this kind of thing from happening, but I think most of the shop owners are too scared to that they’ll offend.

We need some kind of uprising, if you will, to protect the health and safety of our children. Now you may think I am being too harsh, but I have known many-a-child that has been attacked by a dog. Instead of waiting the shop owners to mention the offense I think like-minded community members should ban together and educate ourselves on the letter of the law, so that we are prepared to confront citizens when they make a doggie fax paw.

~On a side note, a new shop just opened down the street that offers ice cream and doggie daycare. This brings a new meaning to “hair of the dog”.
