Mike Daisley - Attorney at Law
     Each year about this time, I marvel at what the French historian Alexis de Tocqueville, while traveling our young nation in the 1830's, called our "great experiment."  Come Sunday, we will have been in the "lab" for 234 years.
     Every good lawyer I have known is a "wordsmith"-someone who can craft and wield the power of words, no less than a blacksmith can use a hammer, providing just the right amount of hard blows or gentle taps to precisely shape whatever the situation needs. 
     That may be why each Fourth of July, when NPR broadcasts it reading of the Declaration of Independence, I am blessed anew (and blown away) by the sheer beauty and power in Mr. Jefferson's words.  His painstaking outline of "the patient sufferance of these Colonies" evincing "the necessity which constrains them to alter their Systems of Government" and the ultimate proclamation "...that these united Colonies are, and of Right ought to be Free and Independent States..." 
     Like the best of legal arguments, it is a compelling moral one as well. 
     Sometime over this special weekend of hot dogs and fireworks, I invite you to take nine minutes just to listen to the words that -- quite literally -- changed the world.
     Best wishes for a safe and meaningful celebration.
 
      All the best,

WDAV-FM -- A "Classical" Celebration!
Broken Window     For those of you who may need a little something other than "Proud to be an American" in the way of patriotic music, may I suggest my favorite radio station?  (I could sing "Proud to be on-the-Board of Advisors" or "Proud to be a Business Underwriter" but it doesn't have quite the same rhythm as Lee Greenwood's.)
     The good folks at WDAV Classical Public Radio 89.9FM are featuring a marvelous program by The Western Wind vocal ensemble to celebrate our nation's independence and musical heritage.  Check out the station's website for the full playlist of "O Beautiful! American Music: A July Fourth Special."
 
Save the Date...GATSBY returns!
     This year, WELLS DAISLEY RABON, P.A. is again happy to be a table host for the annual Great Gatsby Gala to benefit the MS Society.  More details will follow in the next e-dition of Legal Trends  but for now please be sure to "save the date" of Saturday, August 14 in the Wachovia Atrium.
