Good morning.

Actually, I get paid for what I did. I spent my youth and my health hunting communists so I now get paid for being unable to work.

I was married to a lawyer for several minutes and my wife now has operated an attorney support service for 25 years. I understand how the law works and why we must have it but I also understand that the law is a weapon used by our enemies to stick it to us. Most of the legislators who abuse us are lawyers and all of the judges who make decisions like the one we are debating are lawyers. I think I read somewhere once that this was not always the case.

Actually most legislators by far in Florida are not lawyers. Most judges are lawyers, a law in Florida enacted by the non-lawyer legislators.

People who want to know how the world of business and government work go to law school. Always have and always will.

The thing I lament is the inaccessibility of a decent graduate education. Patrick Henry 'read' for the law in 6 weeks and took the bar. Jefferson studied under Wythe in the back parlor of his home in Williamsburg. Decent apprenticeships would produce much better lawyers and professionals of all types than our current system.
