My path to teaching my conception of truth leads to and through teaching poker as skill in seeing and understanding from another's point of view. i teach this as a fundamental skill not just for lawyers but for anyone who is eager to learn how the rhetorical world works and connect it to the physical. i teach the teaching of it as exemplar and research.
There is corruption of law in relation to poker. Our government seeks to kill online poker games as collateral damage to its gambling hypocrisy, passing a midnight bill that never saw committee as part of a terrorism act, prosecuting the founding companies and individuals who made online poker possible, and thumbing its nose at little Antigua and no doubt soon to give the finger to the WTO which has ruled in Antigua's favor against our govt.
This is exemplary of the corruption of law i would like to see our government foreswear. I want to array the intelligent forces of the poker playing poker thinking world against it. The united states government v. the intelligent forces of the poker playing poker thinking world

I had always many critics concerning politics blogging and the connection between freedom of speech , Internet and old Media channels.
On the 3rd of October 2006, Eric Schmidt had an interview with Financial Times where he adress his speech to the conservative party and as part of a global attempt to educate the world’s politicians.
“Many of the politicians don't actually understand the phenomenon of the internet very well. It's partly because of their age … often what they learn about the internet they learn from their staffs and their children,â€? Mr Schmidt said.
In my opinion, this comes with 2 major events that happened during the last days:
One is the truth shown on one’s blog about Foley’s emails and Instant messaging. Foley’s case “Foley, 52, resigned Friday after he was confronted with sexually explicit electronic messages he had sent the teen male pages.”
Second event comes after the September 30th. U.S. Congress passed the Unlawful Internet Gambling Enforcement Act (UIGEA). This Act is expected to be signed by President Bush as early as middle October. Even though the bill surprised the internet gambling industry (Online Poker, Sportwetten, Online Casino ), reactions from U.S. and European internet gambling sites are already taking place. Internet gambling sites are planning to either adjust operations to the new law or shut down their operations in the U.S.; this means, the US$12 billion industry may collapse.
The current “TV generation� of political leaders had learned to “switch on� and perform in front of the cameras and most were now aware of the internet's importance, he said. But he argued they had yet to grasp the technology's implications, not least in terms of the power it hands to voters, posing the question: “If television created this generation of politicians, what will the internet do to the next generation of politicians?�
“The internet has largely filled a role of funding for politicians … but it has not yet affected elections. It clearly will,â€? he forecast.
Schmidt said that within five years, voters will be able to use a truth predictor software that shows the probability a politician’s statements are factually correct. “We [at Google] are not in charge of truth but we might be able to give a probability,â€? he said.
