From the lawyer to the artist:  Since prehistory, man has known that art came, in part, from a source outside the artist. The ancients worshiped 9 pagan goddesses, the Muses, who inspired artists. Around campfires, Arabs in North Africa watched dancers, when they saw a greater-than-human dance, cried, “Allah!”  After the Arabs conquered Spain, the Spaniards, who saw God in a bullfighter’s greater-than-human courage, cried, “Ole’!” (Ole’ being derived from Allah).

However, the modern rational man wrongly believes it all comes from inside the artist. This creates an intense pressure. As a result, modern artists suffer drug abuse, mental illness, and suicide at staggering rates. As an artist, pray and consider that you will do your part, but that God, if he wants your art to be great, will do his part. It is not all from you. Part comes from God. Take the pressure off of yourself. It is not all your success; it is not all your failure. Allow God to add to your art (and your law practice.) 

The Peace Treaty of Troup, Texas: A nice lady in our little country church, in her 90s, pulled up to the doughnut store in Troup the other day, and discovered a police car behind her with flashing lights. The officer shouted, "Why didn't you stop, when I turned on the flashing lights, 2 blocks ago?" She apologized, and confessed that the State of Texas had taken away her driver's license. She knew she was not supposed to be driving, but she just had to have a chocolate doughnut. As we all know, the cravings for (chocolate or buttermilk) doughnuts are powerful.

A Peace Treaty was agreed upon. The next time she just has to have a chocolate doughnut, she will call the Policeman, and he will get her the doughnut and bring it to her home just outside of town.

Peace and Safety for All. Back the Blue.

Mistaken Paternity Trial in Texas

This past November, I went to court in a mistaken paternity case
and learned that my client paid $36,606 in child support through the Attorney General’s office. The Attorney General admired him because for years, he regularly paid support. A DNA test showed that my client was not the father. 

He will not be repaid a dime. He gets no apology from the State of Texas. The child support stopped, but he still owes for the rest of November, plus a medical support fee. This is the last unjust punishment of a slave on the child support plantation.

The Attorney General told me 1 out of every 5 men tested through the Attorney General’s office is shown not to be the father. The personal experience of the Judge is that about 1 out of every 3 men is excluded by a DNA test. There may be a million men paying child support, because no DNA test was given before the State of Texas made them pay.

I do not blame the mother, she was only making money: We lawyers, judges, and legislators are the ones who allowed her to make money this way. We are the ones who allowed this evil. It is our embarrassment and shame.

End the slavery, Attorney General, and give the DNA test before you force men to pay.
