I use contracts, just like most everyone else here.  And someday, I intend
to sell those contracts and make a nice pile of money.  But there does seem
to be a little hypocrisy going on here, and I'm as guilty as the next alarm
dealer.

We've all been saying, "We're nice guys, we won't actually sue someone who
breaks their contract, aren't we decent, ethical people?"  But, we're
perfectly willing to sell those contracts to someone who will enforce those
contracts because he paid good money for them.   Our hands don't exactly
appear clean:  we're letting someone else do the dirty work, but we're
getting paid for it.
