Sometimes winning is not everything. Truth and justice\u00a0should have a place in the Court system &#8211; even an adversarial court system.<\/p>\n<p>Problem &#8211; Lack of respect for citizens, young and old, rich and poor.\u00a0\u00a0An elderly Manchester couple\u00a0is quoted as saying that they were appalled at the way that the State treated them and that no citizen should ever have to go through what they did. The Manchester couple had been &#8220;almost killed&#8221; \u00a0by a State truck. (See Tateosian v Vermont)\u00a0 \u00a0Many citizens have had similar experiences.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Solution &#8211; \u00a0Inform AG staff that\u00a0all citizens are to be treated with respect.
