You forgot one thing: The Deep Pocket Principle. It were lawyers that kept press and public on this issue for months. Those lawyers operated on the theory that the Catholic Church was a worthy target to plunder. Some poor local protestant parish isn't even worth their attention.
Exactly.Lawyers like John Edwards,and his ilk,will always tell you that they're aim in life is to "help the little guy".
Of course,when you ask these clowns why they consistently rank in the 99.9th percentile in income and net worth,they look at you like you have two heads.
And when you ask them why they consistently turn down cases from people who were hurt by somebody with no money or insurance,they give you the same look that The Most Ethical Couple In History gave Don Imus when he had the audacity to speak the truth....to their faces.
