When you meet someone for the first time and you decide that person is a jerk, smart, stupid, klutsy, etc it's hard to think differently. It's not impossible and many times we find our initial impressions to be wrong and become friends with that person. On political issues it's much harder to change peoples minds.P M Prescotthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12973205373056561583noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32838402.post-73059825220911403262010-11-16T08:05:24.610-07:002010-11-16T08:05:24.610-07:00Michael, great movie.

Still the biggest flaw in most legal dramas, basically because they need conflict for the story, is the lack of homework before the trial and they are scrambling during the trial. That's not a good way to win anything.P M Prescotthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12973205373056561583noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32838402.post-85998535189079961952010-11-15T05:25:42.835-07:002010-11-15T05:25:42.835-07:00Everybody is more interested in taking positions r...Everybody is more interested in taking positions rather than discussing things these days.

Now, as Steve McQueen said in 1977, "Everything gets so flowery anymore. Nobody comes up to me and just tells me what they want". I agree with Steve. Your post reminded me of Paul Newman's closing argument in "The Verdict", which won the case. Great post!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16539850495318868267noreply@blogger.com
