I read an interview with the now retired Justice Gladys Johnson. According to her, none of our present lawmakers are lawyers.
Wow.

The reboot that went wrong
In school, the seniors always had certain privileges over those their junior. Every junior thought that these privileges were unfair. They thought so until they themselves became seniors.
This seems to be the case in our "honorable" legislature. Instead of starting afresh and changing the ropes to fit our society of 2011, many elected officials tend to resort to looking in the mirror and trying to imitate what once was.
Now that their time of reconning is coming, beware of them. When the dust settles after the election in October, how many lawbreakers, eh sorry, lawmakers will turn over their dearbought computers, cars and other government properties to their sucessors. How many of them have managed to build mansions and how many will have unfinished mansions.
Please, I beg of you, please leave at least the furniture in your offices so that we Liberians can stand proud and say look, at least these ones did not steal their furniture.
