Full Moon and Crazy Lawyers
I have been beseiged recently with psycho-dramas stirred up by what appears to be insane behavior by opposing counsel. Ugly, ugly, ugly, snotty behavior, and tones of voices that suggest the person thinks I'm a pathetic, sniveling idiot. "Why the retched tone of voice you narrow-minded small person who deserves to have your practic atrophe into vaporized nothingness?" I ask myself as I listen to them substitute sensible, persuasive comments for behaviors that will help solidify them in my memory as a small, gross, horrible person who should be avoided. I actually have an anti-rolodex. This is a list of people I carry around in my mind to remember to tell people to avoid at all costs.
The full-moon provokes them further causing me to question "Do you just have poor judgment, manners and breeding, or are you mentally-disturbed and more inclined to insanity caused at full moon?"
Now, you must understand, I've NEVER in my life (even as an amature astrologer) attributed weirdo behavior to a full-moon. But this sudden rash of incompetant, flamboyent, stressed out lawyers has me thinking: maybe there is something to that old folk's tale about werewolves. Possibly, people on the mental-health fringe break down during a fool moon. If they are a lawyer by trade they do ridiculous legal maneuvers and call themselves sane.
Am I being too negative here? Oops, I've broken. It's a full-moon.
My Dad was a cop for many years. Though he has no special love for anything mystic, he swears by the "full moon effect". He says that it is a documented fact that the police receive more, often 2 to 3 times more, calls on the night of the full moon and my Dad can relate many stories of the odd behavior people exhibit on this night.
