Actually, I've noticed a surprisingly large number of people who are totally uncomprehending of the adversarial nature of our legal systems and that lawyers on a routine basis argue for or defend things that they don't personally believe in, and that there's nothing wrong with that; the sort of people that think that being a criminal defense attorney is inherently evil, for example.
It's a shame more people don't take part in debate teams in high school and college; you have one resolution for a semester and at every tournament you'll argue for and against the same resolution many times in a single weekend.
I used to do that in Yahoo! Chat way back when. I actually had two handles, one for the conservative and the other for a liberal. It was kind of fun to get people agreeing with me on one side, and then being able to argue the other side, and get those same people to agree to that as well. Made me realize the dolts that actually participated on those chats.
Maybe that is what's wrong with this country. People are being trained to put their soul in their pocket for the sake of money, expediency or politics. One way to rise to the top. But why is that okay?
