You may now resume your regularly-scheduled lawyer bashing. It is my earnest hope that your own liberty or property never require the defense of a member of our profession. Like handguns, we are despised. . . until you really need us.

First off, lets kill all the lawyers, it is not half, it is the Bard.
My father is an attorney, I personally know a very large number of attorneys who are professional, and would never consider doing anything in the least bit shady. I have probably only come across a few sketchy lawyers.
That said, IMHO, one of the biggest problems in the country is tort abuse. Prop 64 was a positive thing. The litigation I described above is a case of the civil courts able to act when the federal government has coninuously failed to do so. My point was that, not to bash lawyers.
What do you call a bus load of lawyers at the bottom of the ocean?
A good start.
Why is it that California has the most lawyers and New Jersey has the most toxic waste dumps?
New Jersey got first choice.
I got a million of 'em(well, not literally)
