The legal system doesn't work. or more accurately, it doesn't work for anyone except those with the most resources. not because the system is corrupt. i don't think our legal system (at the federal level, at least) is at all corrupt. i mean simply because the costs of our legal system are so astonishingly high that justice can practically never be done.

The proposed constitution, therefore, even when tested by the rules laid down by its antagonists, is, in strictness, neither a national nor a federal constitution; but a composition of both. in its foundation it is federal, not national; in the sources from which the ordinary powers of the government are drawn, it is partly federal, and partly national; in the operation of these powers, it is national, not federal; in the extent of them again, it is federal, not national; and finally, in the authoritative mode of introducing amendments, it is neither wholly federal, nor wholly national.

Just because you’ve only been alive for fifteen years doesn’t mean you’re less anything except old. that’s all it means. it doesn’t mean you’re less experienced. it doesn’t mean you’re less intelligent. it doesn’t mean you’re less sensitive. it doesn’t mean you take things less seriously. it’s like, these are younger human beings, meaning don’t, because they’re only ten, start thinking that they don’t know what you’re talking about -because they do. don’t leave people out in the cold, and don’t talk down to people -don’t. it never works out.

I'm pretty confident the why works now. when it first began, somebody said to me: "will this work in big business?" i said, "i don't know. let's try." somebody said will this work in entrepreneurs, relationships or government and military. i said, "i don't know. let's try." i kept applying the scientific method. i had a theory. i kept applying that theory, looking for opportunities to fail and it kept working.
