One thing good about them is that if you suffer from insomnia they will surely put you to sleep trying to read them.

In the '70's our real estate contracts were one page and we didn't need most of that. Now it is page of page of lawyer talk. Be careful. One word could change the whole meaning.

I can't tell you how many times I have gone to a doctor and have been given a form to sign stating I have received their privacy notice when I haven't been given it or even seen it. Several times when I told the receptionist I can't sign it, they make it seem like I'm the 1st person who has brought this to their attention. One girl said she didn't even have a copy. So I guess it is true that not too many people read what they are signing. (BTW, I'm not referring to doctors in TV).

5000+ pages is a lot to read in a short time.

The sad thing is that there is no reason to hide it anymore. It is accepted as normal Government business.

Our country looks like any other 3rd world country now. And the world is watching with amazement as the American people allow this to happen.
