"Never Again". Yeah. . . right

A frequent comment by some casual students of World War Two has been to note how blind the Western Allies seemed to be to German atrocities. The common theme is that, "if it were we, we wouldn't let it happen."

Well, we are.

In the past few days there's been all sorts of news about ISIL horrors, starting with the Taliban actually condemning ISIL aligned forces in Afghanistan for the brutal explosive featuring killing of prisoners to the institutionalized assault and slavery of non Moslem women.

So we wouldn't let these thing happen, eh?

Lex Anteinternet?

This blog has been around since 2009. In the very first post, we asked the question: "What the heck is this blog about?"

Our answer to the question was: "The intent of this blog is to try to explore and learn a few things about the practice of law prior to the current era. That is, prior to the internet, prior to easy roads, and the like. How did it work, how regional was it, how did lawyers perceive their roles, and how were they perceived?"

We also noted: "Part of the reason for this, quite frankly, has something to do with minor research for a very slow moving book."

All of this is still true, but the focus of the blog has changed somewhat. It now focuses on the era from 1890 to 1920 in general, rather than on the law and lawyers specifically, although that may be far from obvious. It's also become the location where we comment on anything we feel moved to comment on.

We hope you'll feel moved to comment as well. While we moderate every comment, so as to weed out Spam, we greatly appreciate the comments where they are offered, and hope to see more.

Thank you for stopping in!
