There are basically two kinds of people in the World: The Haves and The Have-nots.

The Haves have ALL the stuff and the Have-nots want to HAVE all the stuff. More often than not, since the Have-nots are not content in having no stuff, they have to think up ways to acquire - or have - the stuff The Haves have.

Let’s say for the sake of argument that you’re a Have-not. You have an axe to grind. You have a bee in your bonnet. You have issues, and you have it in for the Haves. You have an eye on having the Haves' stuff. First, you have to determine if having the Haves' stuff is worth having to go through the hassle. You have to have a good reason for "having" because once you have made a commitment to have the Haves' stuff, you can't have second thoughts. And, you can't go off half-cocked. You can't have any illusions. Just having the stuff can't be the goal. Having the stuff has to have meaning. "Having" is the price you have to pay for "wanting". Once you have the Haves' stuff, you have to feel like you have it made. It can't be six of one, half dozen of the other. Have you considered that?

I think we have an understanding.

Now, if you have come to the conclusion that the Haves' stuff is something you simply must have, then you have to have a plan to have the Haves’ stuff. Now, you might have half a mind to sue, so one way to have the Haves' stuff is to have your day in court. You can have the Haves’ stuff if you have a good lawyer, who has to have a good argument, by which judges have to decide that you have a right to have the stuff that belongs to the Haves.

But, be careful. The judge might have an agenda, and you might not get what you think you have coming to you. If the judge says you do not have the right to have ALL the Haves' stuff, you might have to settle. You might have to meet half way, which is not half bad. So, don't be a half-wit. Settle for half.

Now, if you have a good lawyer, you won't have a problem. The judge will have the final say, but you'll probably have a grand old time and have nothing to worry about. Have a nice day.

But, if you happen to have a bad lawyer, and the Haves have a good lawyer, they might have you over a barrel. If they have you for breakfast, and you have a bad experience, don’t have a cow. You’re not out of it yet. Not by halves.

But, you do have your work cut out for you when you have to appeal the ruling. Of course, you have to have grounds for an appeal. And, you have to have a better lawyer for the appeal. But most important, you have to have deep pockets to sustain an appeal. And, by definition The Have-nots have no money, so I’m surprised you have gotten as far as you have.

Now, if you have no interest in going to court, you have to have an alternate plan. I'm talking about having to TAKE the Haves' stuff. And, the Haves might not have the inclination to hand it over. You don't want to have to get violent, but things might have to get messy. Remember: If you want to have an omelette, you have to break some eggs.

Have you heard the phrase "Have gun, will travel?" You might have to resort to that, and you can't be half-hearted. You have to commit, because that's the price you have to pay. Have you to got the guts? Have you got the nerve? Because you can't have it both ways. You can't have your cake and eat it too. Have you got all that? I think you have.

Haven't you?
