In secret, behind locked gates, our Nation's Oldest City dumped a landfill in a lake (Old City Reservoir), while emitting sewage in our rivers and salt marsh. Organized citizens exposed and defeated pollution, racism and cronyism. We elected a new Mayor. We're transforming our City -- advanced citizenship. Ask questions. Make disclosures. Demand answers. Be involved. Expect democracy. Report and expose corruption. Smile! Help enact a St. Augustine National Park and Seashore. We shall overcome!

Guill and I warned in our article in the American Bar Association Judges Journal ("A Rush to Unfairness -- the Downside to Alternative Dispute Resolution" in 1989, mandatory cramdown arbitration agreements in employment, consumer and brokerage contracts are a clear and present danger to our civil and constitutional rights.
Thanks to The New York Times for its 2015-2016 investigation of this overbearing of on the part of unAmerican corporations, even startups.
This is sick.
Latest installment: here.
