<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Virginian, post: 4858997, member: 27579&quot;]LOL.&nbsp; Color me . . . unsurprised.&nbsp; That&#039;s OK, I know two abject morons who graduated from Yale. </p><p><br /></p><p>For the record, it was not a legal question, and your comparison to murder is . . . extremely weak.&nbsp; Murder is inherently a legal term because its very definition involves the law:&nbsp; the <b><u>unlawful</u></b> premeditated killing of one huiman being by another.&nbsp; So &quot;murder&quot; has no meaning outside of the law. </p><p><br /></p><p>Nothing in the definition of counterfeit involves the law.&nbsp; At all.&nbsp; It just doesn&#039;t.&nbsp; Certainly there are laws concerning counterfeiting, and they apply legal definitions of that word.&nbsp; But the word counterfeit itself is not inherently one that invokes the law, any more than the word malice does (which also has a &quot;legal definition&quot;).&nbsp; Even if there were no laws anywhere applying to counterfeiting, the word itself would still have meaning - the very same meaning it has now.&nbsp; A more appropriate comparison than murder would be the word &quot;killing.&quot;</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>BTW, the Cal bar exam was a joke.&nbsp; Yeah, it was three days (at least when I took it more than 25 years ago), so it was a bit fatiguing.&nbsp; But it was not particularly challenging intellectually.&nbsp; Everyone in my firm passed on the first try.&nbsp; Yawn.&nbsp; The only reason the pass rate was so low was that they let all sort of essentially self-taught imbeciles sit for it.&nbsp; The Virginia bar exam, for example, was much more difficult.&nbsp; That is why it is so sad that we have a VP candidate who wasn&#039;t even smart enough to pass the California bar exam on the first try.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
