Hey, read this----

If I break into your house and attack you, then fall down the stairs on my
way out, I can sue you for my injuries and win.

If I drive drunk and run over a pedestrian, the cops chase me and I crash
into a tree, I can sue the police for "causing" the accident, and win.

If my neighbor comes over to borrow my chainsaw, and trips in a gopher hole
in my yard on his way back home, when he gets back home it won't be 10
minutes watching TV before an ad comes on with some sleazy dirtbag lawyer
telling he can "get the MONEY he's entitled to".

Major national Trial Lawyers associations have come out en masse opposing
Tort Reform. Abuse of the tort system costs ALL OF US, a lot. If you're so
smart, why don't you explain how anyone could justify opposing Tort
Reform---as far as I'm concerned, that's equivalent to opposing Cancer
Research.

Make no mistake, our legal system is not about justice. It's about MONEY,
period. Lawyers work for law firms, and law firms evaluate the associates
based on billable hours generated. That's the same system Roto-Rooter uses
to evaluate the guy who unclogs my toilet. Hmm, Roto-Rooter Justice....

I have friends and family who are attorneys. Most of them are unhappy
people, working a ton of hours, making a lot of money doing work they hate.

I'm afraid "lawyer-hating thug" might describe more average Americans than
you are willing to acknowledge.

I can't wait for a law firm to specialize in suing other attorneys. "If
you've been wronged by an attorney, call 1-800-SUE-ATTY and get your money
BACK".....what do you think?

Sorry, I normally don't let people push my buttons like this.

I'm taking the tinfoil hat off now. Whew.

You! Legislators are more than 50% non-lawyers, both in Washington
and in the state capitals.

Shakespeare poked fun at lawyers, but he was dead serious in Henry
VI. He meant just the *opposite* of what he said. Otherwise, he
meant, "The SECOND thing let's do, let's kill everyone who can read
and write." Because the gang of lawyer-hating thugs (Jack Cade, Dick
Butcher) took a clerk with his inkwell and quill around his neck and
summarily hanged him from a lamp-post.

You should read more. What is the extent of your reading? Dick and
Jane?
