The Longest Day: Happy Summer Solstice.
Holden Oliver here. June 21, 2018. Happy Solstice to all in the Northern Hemisphere. The longest day. Earth's axial tilt toward the Sun is at its greatest: a whopping 23.44°. A highly spiritual day. Druids and Gaelic types in America and Europe and my entire family observe today by getting drunk, making oaths, fighting and passing out in the woods.

Beyond Arbitration: Ordeal by Water. Let's give this procedure a second look.
With good reason, GCs and in-house counsel all over the world painstakingly monitor the effectiveness of arbitration, especially in business-to-business disputes. Most of them will tell you arbitration doesn't work as well as they would like, especially in the hands of American and Brit lawyers. Remember Ordeal by Water? It was my favorite part of Civil Procedure in law school. It's exciting, for one thing. Further, it's certainly "faster" and "cheaper" than any American Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) best practices to date and in some cases superior to the best-functioning European arbitration regimes. Let's give it a second look, shall we?

Larry Flynt: Voting.
Majority rule only works if you're also considering individual rights. You can't have five wolves and one sheep voting on what to have for supper.

Trumpness.
Dems, Liberals and the Left mainly hate Trump's Style. A common American Business Style on steroids. And a Male Style. There are lots of Trumps in America. Just more understated. Tons of Trumps. Dems, Liberals and the Left need to get used to that.

Democrats, you ever coming home?
I was a Democrat for a very long time—until the Democratic Party abandoned me. If I decided to go back, what’s left to go back to? Anger? Small-mindedness? Moral superiority?
