It used to be that a person with a high school education who could not afford a lawyer had some hope of representing himself in federal court. You could go to the library and study, and you could borrow a typewriter, and you just might win. Now you have to own a computer and know how to use it. And it's not enough to be able to do word-processing. You have to be able to convert documents to PDF. Then you have to get an Internet connection and upload them. To me, this amounts to the following message: if you can't pay a lawyer and his staff of clericals, keep your sorry ass out of federal court and be trampled. Our laws were never meant to confer rights upon the likes of you.Sad and true. RTWT.
