Who in the Hell is this "Strawman?"

Another clue to the what-the-fuckness of this is that the author starts paragraphs with the word "so", which is the kind of conjunction that one can use after a semicolon.

Overall the rambling seems to be an analysis of the difference between the legal character that "is percieved" by "The System" and the real person. Kinda like how Andy Dufresne (pronounced Frenchily) in The Shawshank Redemption made an imaginary person--one of these "straw men" that the author is talking about--while there was no real person.

Overall, there's no usefulness in what he wrote.

Except, perhaps, for the minor attempt throughout at being inspirational--about percieving the legal-related actions attributed and connected to you as not having any reason to affect your emotions--and trying to inspire the reader to be a captain of their legal-entity-ship-self and go pirate and whatever.
