We don't value real things in this country. That is why we have so few engineers and so many lawyers.
In classical terms, we are a feminine nation. We value form and feeling over substance.
That doesn't bode well for us.

Away from the office, Mr. Davis went through a profound change a decade ago. In 2001, after 24 years of marriage, Mr. Davis separated from his wife and came out as gay. He has been in a long-term relationship with another man for the last 10 years. Egad.

Instead of declaring Chapter 11 why didn’t they hold out for a “to big to fail” g’mint bailout.
I thought it was the new socialist American way?

Some Dewey partners suspect him of being a crook. Well sure - he was a lawyer, wasn't he?

Yup.
And so the blood-sucking (B-S)heads of a firm of B-S lawyers has to hire outside B-S lawyers to defend themselves from hordes of government B-S lawyers. Guess who’s still billing?
Right! Other B-S lawyers! Leaches feeding upon leaches.
The whole law professions has degenerated into such a self-serving pool of slime, I rather relish hearing that these unproductive parasites are forced to scramble for cover.
Paying wordsmiths with no morals to extract money from those unable to protect themselves is just plain wrong. Is it a coincidence most professional politicians are also lawyers? I think not.
