Finding themselves with the same capability as a cat who continually licks its back side (because it can), they make arbitrary rulings because------they can. Finding that this is a comfortable way to make judgements, with heads firmly planted between their respective limbs, little effort is made to remove themselves from this warm and fuzzy environment and actually make a significant contribution. Instead they surface occasionally with some off the wall pontification filled with esoteric bovine scatology. They give the verbal equivalent of the one finger salute to the most concise eloquent argument and continue the way they always have; assigning legal status to their own personal opinions.
Kind of like what we are doing.....difference is we are right.
