I didn't say there were no political judges, I just think it is much rarer than some think. I would like to have everyone who has won under a political judge to send me a post. It is easy to say you lost due to politics. I don't think I have ever won with politics. It was always because I had the best dog. At least that is how I see it. Maybe some day I will see it differently, but so far for the first 37 years or so, I find most judges honest. I am sure there are some that aren't, but they seem rare to me, and seldom get assignments. I find that to be the same when I go to court. They may be stupid, but they try to be honest. Life is good, the year is over, and we are about to move to 2005. I never thought I would see that year, and I am pleased to share it with you all. I hope it is the best year of all, and that everyone finds the joy they deserve. Not that there is anything wrong with that.
