Shut Up: Pay More: This What You Voted For. Why You Don't See Me At San Francisco's Hall Of Justice, David D. Butler
Shut Up: Pay More: This What You Voted For. Why You Don't See Me At San Francisco's Hall Of Justice, David D. Butler
David D. Butler
Urban violence, much of it politically motivated, has driven the taxpaying Middle Class into the suburbs. This has left only the tax eating poor and the tax avoiding rich in the big cities. This has resulted in urban bankruptcy in Detroit and even in California with its gifts of the technological Gold Rush, the Pacific Ocean, and the Sierra Nevada and Santa Lucia Mountains. The poor are more issolated than ever confined to the functional equivalent of no go zones. They speak a differenct language, dress differently, and sell drugs until they are caught and caged, providing good pay and …

First impressions are the eye of the needle through which all subsequent threads are drawn. Zealous advocates take conrol of the Courtroom even before the prosecution is through the door. Get to the Courtroom first. Secure the table and chairs closer to the jury. Pick up all the chalk by the black board. When the befuddled county attorney is looking for a piece of chalk, hand him or her a nice new piece from the box you have in your attache case. Zealous advocates get to the Courtroom fiirst, with the most. Often, a zealous advocate can lift his or …
"You Must Remember This:" Nothing Lasts A Hundred Years, David D. Butler
"You Must Remember This:" Nothing Lasts A Hundred Years, David D. Butler
David D. Butler
Much of what any given generation thinks of as "natural," is, in fact, the result of a prevoious generation's civil engineering projects. Medieval French peasants used to say that mythical giants built the Roman acquiducts of Southern France, because the notion that mere humans could have constructed such systems was simply beyond their post Black-Death conception.

This 2,285 essay combines California's often violent history with European and American high and low culture to explain my decision to leave San Francisco in the 1970's and to study and practice law in other states. At the time, I was platflorm man (operator) on the 30 Stockton electric trolley through South of Market, the Financial District, Chinatown, Pacific Heights, and the Marina. Nevertheless, at the time the Nation of Islam had at least one armed group, the Zebra killers, murdering Whites, often slowly with machetes. I joined the White, Middle-Class, Taxpaying majority in their diaspora to safer places. My …

"You Must Remember This:" Nothing Lasts A Hundred Years, David D. Butler
"You Must Remember This:" Nothing Lasts A Hundred Years, David D. Butler
David D. Butler
This 827 word essay speaks for itself. Even more pared down, it argues that much of what we think about as "natural," is the product of human design. Using Northern California's Crystal Springs Reservoir as its illustration, the essay points out the fragile human artifice which creates what successive generations view as "natural."
Demons: Be Gone, David D. Butler
Demons: Be Gone, David D. Butler
David D. Butler
This essay argues that though contrary to Muslim doctrine, the secret disposal of Osama bin Laden at sea was necessary to prevent any known grave from becoming a pilgrimage site for Muslim jihadists. The essay compares the secret burial of bin Ladin, to that of Adolph Hitler and the recent reburial of Rudolph Hesse, also at sea, and concludes all three are reasonable steps to forestall further terrorist activity.

The only question is who decides. The mob, the army, the people, the Congress, or the judges are not right because they are right, they are right because they are final. Lenin - the terrorist and not the pop star - said, "If a man says 'A.' he says 'B.'" If you celebrate Brown versus Board, you inevitably celebrate Dred Scott versus Sanford and Plessy versus Furgerson. This article argues that it it time, indeed, past time, for America to abandon lifetime federal judges and with them the poison of affirmative action and school busing.

"Put Colloquially, American Law Believes That Talking Out Prevents Acting Out." A First Amendment Primer, David D. Butler
David D. Butler
"Put Colloquially, American Law Believes that Talking Out Prevents Acting Out:" A Free Speech Primer argues that the Federal First Amendment, textually against Congress,and as incorporated by reference against the Several States, states a preference for (1) sanctioning harmful speech or expression in civil proceedings (2) rather than penalizing the speaker or actor in criminal prosecutions. The essay argues that whether in the 1988 theft of an unflattering painting of Chicago Mayor Harold Washington, titled "Mirth and Girth," by three Chicago aldermen from the Chicago Art Institute ranging to then president Clinton's perjury regarding his earlier sexual abuse of an …
