wfzimmerman's review: "Hypnotic recitation of hundreds of now-extinct species disembarking from Noah's ark. I know, because I have been forced to count, that there are 128 distinct pairs of animals. A worthy book full of interesting illustrations of defunct crypofauna. Also noteworthy as early representation of Christian environmentalism."

The Speaker Law Firm | Atlanta Car, Motorcycle and Trucking Accident Attorney

t is true that at times the government must act to protect the public’s welfare and balance personal liberties with public safety. Two popular quotes are that, “With great power comes great responsibility” and Edmund Burke, “The greater the power, the more dangerous the abuse.” The ability to put a leash on someone’s personal liberty, when granted, must be used with great discretion.

Well said, Mr. Speaker. Now feast your eyes on these words:

Georgia State Bar Rule 4-108, Conduct Constituting Threat of Harm to Clients or Public; Emergency Suspension.

(a) Upon receipt of sufficient evidence demonstrating that an attorney’s conduct poses a substantial threat of harm to his clients or the public and with the approval of the Immediate Past President of the State Bar of Georgia and the Chairperson of the Review Panel, or at the direction of the Chairperson of the Investigative Panel, the Office of General Counsel shall petition the Georgia Supreme Court for the suspension of the attorney pending disciplinary proceedings predicated upon the conduct causing such petition.

Surely flying on a crowded aircraft with drug-resistant tuberculosis meets the standard of substantial threat of harm to the public.
