Yeah, zero, I-D-H-L

Baby, what's the big deal? Feel what you wanna feel

Say what you wanna say

You're gonna die one day

For example, I could kiss you

Just because I want you

What's different if you turn away? I'm gonna die one day

Why do you waste your time? Think about your reputation

Try to meet an expectation

Hey everybody, welcome to another edition of Tangentially Speaking

This is a conversation with Cesare Romano, who is an expert in international law, particularly human rights law

Which might sound a little dry, but man, he's a very interesting cat, very full of good stories

He was born in Italy, educated all over Europe

And now he teaches at Loyola Law School in Los Angeles

But his work takes him all over the world

He's like the, I don't know what you would call him, the last resort for some people who find themselves in that nightmare situation of being in prison in a foreign country

And there's nobody to help you, he helps sometimes when he can

And interesting, dude

We talk a lot about different cultural conventions and the different legal systems in the US and in Europe

And how that's reflected in the way we deal with each other on a day-to-day basis

Anyway, hope you enjoy the episode

I just wanted to say hello, I haven't done these introductory things for a few episodes because it feels like sometimes I just want to let you get right into it
