Paul Simon wrote a catchy, yet profound song back in the 70s about how we sometimes get so far, but then somehow, well, never make it to the end. “Slip slidin’ away, slip slidin’ away … you know the nearer your destination, the more you’re slip slidin’ away.” 

I suppose it’s human nature not to want to change, to keep things the way they’ve always been, to be familiar. And perhaps so with our municipal courts.
