Lawyers make ladders cost $300.
Lawyers make doctors practice law as nearly as much as they practice medicine.
I can go on and on with examples.
Lawyers add to the cost of nearly everything effectively lowering the standard of living for many.
If you look at the balance sheet of productive behavior verses destructive, it is hands down on the destructive side.
Are all lawyers destructive parasites? No. But the profession seems to provide a special calling for those types.
Ladders don't cost $300. But they are now rated for the weight they can carry, because of lawsuits. And, if you buy a ladder that's not rated for your weight, you're out of luck, because there's a sign right on the thing, telling you how much weight it will carry.
Thank a lawyer, or not, it's the truth.
Doctors don't practice law. Not the good ones, anyway. But the others are much more careful than they used to be when they could get away with murder and the rest of the medical community would simply close ranks around one of their own.

In New Orleans, the report is that the concrete retaining walls on the canals were built in separate panels, like highway sound barriers, instead of interlocking. If they have to pay through the nose, they'll never be that dumb again.

Me, I love a good lawsuit, even as a spectator. This one promises to be a doozy.
