IMO many law students get brainwashed in law school. A friend of ours graduated from Villanona and Notre Dame law school.
He was raised as a conservative and actually goes to church every Sunday. He became a judge and ran as a Democrat. He always votes democrat.
He gets annoyed when you talk to him about tort reform.
I think I see many people ... younger people, sayyy ... 40 or 50 and younger ... go no further in their "education" than what is required to make money, whether a technical field or blue collar or even professionally.
The seemingly lack of political interest in way too many people seems to bear that out.
Now, those that we know whom have little or no desire to learn about nor be interested in politics are not lazy nor are they idle. On the contrary, they're very busy and active people but, as my pastor has pointed out so many times in the past, the word "amuse" is "a" (non) "muse" (think).
To be "amused" is to be part of non thinking, and a whole LOTT'A folks are active in sports for instance, they have no time to realize the toilet that doesn't sufficiently flush their own crap was limited to 1 OR 1/2 gallon of water by the EPA/congress.
Lawyers not being political?
I don't buy THAT one, too much of what they do (except perhaps criminal lawyers) is politically motivated or led.
Anyway, the statement I wanted to make is; I don't think many people continue their (life, not academic) education beyond what's necesarry to get a job or a husband.
