A Law Dictionary For All Seasons
Legal definitions are a fun thing. Depending on the version of the same dictionary, two words can take on completely different meanings. The most famous, and therefore most used, legal dictionary in the United States and Great Britain (and for that matter, the English speaking world) is Black’s. You’ll hear it mentioned in nearly every legal brief and it’s on the tip of every patriot tongue. Sadly, many of you lack a copy.
You Have a Bad Case of Stockholm Syndrome — Part 3
In severe cases of Stockholm Syndrome in relationships, the victim may have difficulty leaving the abuser and may actually feel the abusive situation is their fault. In law enforcement situations, the victim may actually feel the arrest of their partner for physical abuse or battering is their fault.

But, before we get to it; we’re gonna do a little V FOR VENDETTA routine and “take some time to have a little chat” (rather than merely a “blog”, whatever that actually is). This is the point where I should say “you’ will probably see and hear some things that you have already seen, heard, and read
Open Minds – Closed Mouths

Human beings attempt to recognize patterns in everything, even where there are no patterns to be found. The problem is, patterns are only recognizable with sufficient data.
Mandatory Reading – The Four Hour Work Week
I find it funny that people use phrases like, “I don’t have the money,” or “I can’t afford…” These phrases tell me everything I need to know about the person using them. One of the biggest obstacles every person must overcome is the thoughts someone else put into their head. Having read nearly every self-help author and listened to hundreds of personal / life coaching gurus and new-agers I’ve picked up a pattern.
