Re: Re: Briefs for Sale

there is a difference between briefs and complaints.

nonetheless, the market value of either is very low in the vast majority of cases.

I don't know what happened with that case, but one gets fairly close to merger, no?

Nothing worth doing is completed in our lifetime,
Therefore, we are saved by hope.
Nothing true or beautiful or good makes complete sense in any  
immediate context of history;
Therefore, we are saved by faith.
Nothing we do, however virtuous, can be accomplished alone.
Therefore, we are saved by love.
No virtuous act is quite a virtuous from the standpoint of our friend  
or foe as from our own;
Therefore, we are saved by the final form of love which is forgiveness.

Reinhold Neibuhr
