Learn how to SUE THE FUCK out of ANYONE

Imagine, if you will, that your computer is an extension of yourself, and that, therefore, any information you can access by computer is, in some way, information that's already yours. This means that, now that www.uslaw.com is out, you know law. Which makes you a lawyer. Well, FUCK YOU, LAWYER.
I'm actually really fond of this place. They've got a bunch of laws, and they've got a sexy chat session where you can talk to a lawyer, and he'll mostly say things like "Thanks for holding" and "I'll be right with you" by a clever automated script, and the rest of the time he gives really guarded advice, but those things aside, they're actually pretty informative.
(I'm using this site to find out more about suing the good people of the world. More on that later.)
Anyway, it's a big commercial web site about law. You want to know law, because that way you can be completely befuddled by how stupid it is. And then you'll stop believing in God. And then you'll commit suicide.
And it will be the complete fault of www.uslaw.com in some weird, nebulous way.
