A Law Show Set 25 Years from Now

aaron240 writes "CBS will be airing a pilot of a new show called 'Century City' tonight, Tuesday, March 16th. CNN has the story. The executive producer, Ed Zuckerman, had this to say about the future state of the law in America: 'Our future is a positive future. We assume that things are basically going to get better, progress will continue,' Zuckerman says. 'There will be problems -- new inventions, new technologies will bring with them difficulties -- but it's a bright future.' He also makes it clear that 'This is not a 'Blade Runner''. Is there any chance it will offer a decent treatment of the issues Open Source advocates worry about today? If he's so positive, could he possibly know anything about software patents to say nothing of SCO?"

    HUR HUR HUR, SO FUNNY. God, I Mean, you talk about a fucking TV show with lawywers and you have to make some gay ass remark, "Oooh I wonder if he knows about SCO?!?!?!?!" like everyone on slashdot will lick your cock and think you're a suave motherfucker.

    You piece of shit. You're fucking unoriginal.

    CowboyNeal called when he got the word,
    And he said: "I suppose you've heard -
    About Taco".
    When I rushed to the window,
    And I looked outside,
    And I could hardly believe my eyes -
    As a big limousine rolled up
    Into Taco's drive...

    Oh, I don't know why he's leaving,
    Or where he's gonna go,
    I guess he's got his reasons,
    But I just don't want to know,
    'Cos for twenty-four years
    I've been living next door to Taco.
    Twenty-four years just waiting for a chance,
    To tell her how I feel, and maybe get a second glance,
    Now I've got to get used to not living next door to Taco...

    We grew up together,
    Two kids in the park,
    We carved our initials,
    Deep in the bark,
    Me and Taco.
    Now he walks through the door,
    With his head held high,
    Just for a moment, I caught his eye,
    As a big limousine pulled slowly
    Out of Taco's drive.

    Oh, I don't know why he's leaving,
    Or where he's gonna go,
    I guess he's got his reasons,
    But I just don't want to know,
    'Cos for twenty-four years
    I've been living next door to Taco.
    Twenty-four years just waiting for a chance,
    To tell his how I feel, and maybe get a second glance,
    Now I gotta get used to not living next door to Taco...

    And CowboyNeal called back and asked how I felt,
    And he said: "I know how to help -
    Get over Taco".
    He said: "Now Taco is gone,
    But I'm still here,
    You know I've been waiting
    For twenty-four years..."
    And a big limousine dissapeared...

    I don't know why he's leaving,
    Or where he's gonna go,
    I guess he's got his reasons,
    But I just don't want to know,
    'Cos for twenty-four years
    I've been living next door to Taco.
    Twenty-four years just waiting for a chance,
    To tell his how I feel, and maybe get a second glance,
    But I'll never get used to not living next door to Taco...

    Now I'll never get used to not living next door to Taco..

    Well, you can be a smart ass, although its prretty oobvious being in a war means being a combatant. But if you really want to nitpcik, WWII happened partially in the US- Pearl Harbor. Several pacific island territories as well.
