As expected, in every controversy -- like this NBN deal -- not only the star players of the controversy become household names...along with them are their lawyers. Some of these lawyers I know from my school days or professionally. I think it's sad to see some of them in TV and have some of their dirty laundry aired out in front of the masses (I think my schoolmates would know at least one who I'm referring to here)...but then again, I can't help also but think, well, they deserved it. Live your life that way, one of these days, you'll get bitten right on your ass.
It's also pathetic to watch these lawyers, supposedly having prestigious positions in the academe or by virtue of the length of their legal experience, who have sputtered incorrect BASIC legal principles as if they won't be found out or nobody else would understand, as if they're the only lawyers in this world. The legal profession being inherently litigous, it would be expected that there would be different interpretations with regard to one particular theory or story. However, there are just some truisms that you cannot pull some BS stunt. I cringe while watching them.
As an obiter...
I am currently reading this book, one that my friend has strongly recommended. Maybe some of you have read it (especially when some bookstores no longer have any in their stock). The title is "48 Laws of Power". It's a book that's suppose to teach you how to be at the top of your game, by hook or by crook. I'm reading it now because I want to understand, or at the very least, peek into the minds of people who are just simply evil and mean.
No wonder some people in power are gluttons.
