Laziness aside, as well as the cat joke Pro se'rs pretty much without exception don't understand that losing doesn't mean they have grounds for an appeal.

Appellate judges have to decide cases which affect people's freedoms and constitutional rights. they are overworked. Joe shmoe who thinks he should get his $1,000 damages because he was confused by the mini miranda should have to pay the freight and jump through the hoops to get his case heard.

The hoops are there to help weed out the crap from the real legal issues and in my experience I've yet to see a properly perfected appeal by the pro se warrior.
