Dad Doctors Play

More From William Petersen

I enjoyed [playing lawyer in from the hip] as an ode to my dad. my dad went to harvard and harvard law school, so he had some friends that practiced in boston. so, there was a big law firm that he hooked me up with the senior partner, then the senior partner hooked me up with a young lawyer who worked in the firm. and the young lawyer was married to a public defender. so i would hang out with them, and i could see both sides of it, those that are corporate attorneys and those that help the poor and the disenfranchised.

I could play a cop, i could play a crook, i could play a lawyer, i could play a dentist, i could play an art critic-i could play the guy next door. i am the guy next door. i could play catholic, jewish, protestant. as a matter of fact, when i did the odd couple, i would do it a different way each night. on monday i'd be jewish, tuesday italian, wednesday irish-german-and i would mix them up. i did that to amuse myself, and it always worked.

The minute you read something and you can't understand it, you can be sure it was written by a lawyer. then, if you give it to another lawyer to read and he don't know just what it means, then you can be sure it was drawn up by a lawyer. if it's in a few words and is plain, and understandable only one way, it was written by a non-lawyer.

Faith is precisely the paradox that the single individual as the single individual is higher than the universal, is justified before it, not as inferior to it but superior - yet in such a way, please note, that it is the single individual who, after being subordinate as the single individual to the universal, now by means of the universal becomes the single individual who as the single individual is superior, that the single individual as the single individual stands in an absolute relation to the absolute.
Mean Atheism Way
We said that a single injustice, a single crime, a single illegality, particularly if it is officially recorded, confirmed, a single wrong to humanity, a single wrong to justice and to right, particularly if it is universally, legally, nationally, commodiously accepted, that a single crime shatters and is sufficient to shatter the whole social pact, the whole social contract, that a single legal crime, a single dishonorable act will bring about the loss of ones honor, the dishonor of a whole people. it is a touch of gangrene that corrupts the entire body.
