[Harry Rex Vonner]

Those who attend law school learn quickly the use of "lawyer talk". It allows you to spin an answer in such a way as to make your statement sound like it says something quite different from your true meaning. It allows you to answer questions without actually answering the question. Most people "buy" the answer. I must admit that I have found "lawyer talk" to be very handy through the years.

If one watches these politicians, including officials and employees of the I.R.S., U.S. State Department, White House, and U.S Congress (of both parties), one is almost always hearing "lawyer talk". After all, the overwhelming majority of those "talking" are either lawyers or have been coached by lawyers. For those trained in this method of communication, it is obvious. To the majority, the statements are either believed or not believed depending on each person's preconceived position on the issue.

In any case, the full truth rarely sees the light of day.
