Does The Internet Bring Us Together or Apart

We've all done it.  We've all been victims of it.  A computer connected to the Internet can capture the entire attention of a person, regardless of what's going on around them.  The Internet has the power to isolate people from real world connection with other people.

Perseverance has always been a key differentiator between those who succeed and those who don’t.  Achievement can be like a drip of water.  A drip can become a puddle, which can become a stream, then a river and even a canyon.

I’m always amazed by adverse parties who play games in discovery.  Their goal seems to be to avoid producing documents.  This is all fun and games during the discovery phase of litigation.
