Oh okay, let's just throw in the towel before we even get started!
You do have a point though regarding the "superior command of the English language". That, brains, power ($$$), desire, and testicles of iron is what we need. The wealthy with powerful lawyers/negotiators take advantage of it everyday. Unfortunately, ALPO only possess 1 of 5 of those traits/resources-money. You fight to win. Fight fire with fire, not gasoline.
