New Year's Wishes from AMIC Employees

It's that time of year when many people think about the previous year and put it into perspective. It's also the time of year when we look ahead to the new year. With that in mind, we decided to break with our usual interview with one employee and ask a random selection of AMIC employees what they hoped for in the new year. We had lots of concern over the war in Iraq, terrorism, disease, and serious issues that concern us all. We also had some lighter responses about talking babies and houseplants.

Here, in their own words, is the result:

I wish we could eliminate the human misery caused by natural disaster and man's own violence.  There are so many people that are still homeless and jobless and families that have lost a love one to senseless killings.

2006, The year to "find a cure"
                          Dale Thompson

My wish is that 2006 will be the year when Bin Laden is finally captured or killed. That would strike a major blow against terrorism.
                          Steve Glenn

New years resolutions seem almost impossible to keep. I always try to
make mine very simple so that I don't break it so often. So, my
resolution for 2006 is take better care of my office plant. I so often
let it go entirely too long without a drink of water.

NEW REPORT CITES SIX "JUDICIAL HELLHOLES®"

Washington, DC, December 13, 2005 -- The fourth annual "Judicial Hellholes®" report, a ranking of the worst courts in the United States, was released today.
The overwhelming majority of state courts dispense justice in a fair and impartial manner. By way of contrast, Judicial Hellholes are a few, but powerful, courts that have a disproportionately harmful impact on civil litigation. Litigation tourists, who neither lived nor were injured in these jurisdictions, are guided by their personal injury lawyers who seek out these places because they know they will produce a positive outcome, an excessive verdict or settlement, a favorable precedent, or both. This is venue shopping run wild.

December 26th for Christmas

& January 2 for
New Year's



 

With Christmas just around the corner, Bryant Brown wanted to share this poem he received via email recently.

A Soldiers Christmas


Twas the night before Christmas.
He lived all alone,
In a one bedroom house made of
Plaster and Stone.
I had come down the Chimney,
With presents to give.
And to see just who In this home did live.

I looked all about
A strange sight I did see.
No tinsel, No presents,
Not even a tree.
No stocking by the mantle,
Just boots filled with sand.
