I guess you have to grow up with the right mindset. True, the system is
bizarre, but sometimes it can work in your favor too, if you can get a
better shyster^h^h^h^h^h lawyer.
And in the end, if you can't get justice any other way, there are always
alternative options, such as a firebomb through the window at midnight,
or for those especially egregious offenses, a business deal with your
local mafia representative to "eliminate" the problem once and for all
time (a time honored tradition here in Las Vegas).
