As noted repeatedly, and without risk of contradicting or impairing same, the resolute policy of "Adam Smith, Esq." is to be stronger than nonpartisan: It is not only to take no stand on political issues, but it is to avoid introducing or insinuating them into these pages altogether.
That said, I think it only fair to spend a few column inches honoring and lauding the incredible bravery of the Pakistani lawyers protesting the imposition of martial law.
Their courage should serve as an inspiration, and when needed a chiding reminder, to us all as we confront far more minor and less existential challenges in our lives and practices.
You may now take your hands off your hearts. But you may not forget their example.
