I'm sure it's very obvious . . . how upset I am with incompetence and the lack of common sense in life. If I can sum up the reason . . . it's that these characteristics are not benign. They are responsible for much, if not most, of the great problems, misery, and injustice in the world.
Vincent BugliosiFor a lawyer to do less than his utmost is, I strongly feel, a betrayal of his client.
