The Law of Lamentation

Freud says that when we're lamenting how bad we are, we're actually complaining about someone else. In the etymological sense of the word, that's what he means. It's this whaling and gnashing of teeth, whatever, but it's a formal, judicial, legal... Derraticle. That's what Freud is saying. Strikke could have done that a little bit better,. If you look up plaintiff in the UK, they still use the term plaintiff as a filing, as a legal filing.
