Lone Star Lawyer: Dick DeGuerin (reg. req'd)

Hi. I remember the day when I refused to register at the newspaper websites... it just seemed inevitable, like giving into the corporate profit system that the internet was heading into.
If you want to see where a link will take you, simply roll over it and in the bottom of your web browser you should see the URL.
I'll try to post more quotes as you recommend. Thanks for stopping in, and feel free to post more comments around the site - dialouge is good!
