I kinda get some of the bullshit.

Worked for my dad's insurance company in '92. Contracts had to be signed in black ink, blue pens were banned from the office in case of accident.

Legal terms are a complete clusterfuck to the initiated. There are some things you never say to a cop, for example, all the things. Or, I didn't know the difference in pleading nolo contrendre and not guilty. These people think anything outside grade-school English is blood sugar sex magik.

And then they hear words such as you wrote, "fiat currency" and the like. They see videos of people prevailing in court using certain terms and think there's an arcane vocabulary that achieves their goals.

I get it. But fuck me they're stupid. I was better served paying attention in school and learning some Latin and French.
