Good call, hadn’t realized that.

Even worse, most are probably politicians (or become politicians)! And THAT sums up what the REALLY problem is within America!!

I read somewhere that The United States has over half of the worlds lawyers.

“All the extravagance and incompetence of our present Government is due, in the main, to lawyers, and, in part at least, to good ones. They are responsible for nine-tenths of the useless and vicious laws that now clutter the statute-books, and for all the evils that go with the vain attempt to enforce them. Every Federal judge is a lawyer. So are most Congressmen. Every invasion of the plain rights of the citizens has a lawyer behind it. If all lawyers were hanged tomorrow, and their bones sold to a mah jong factory, we’d be freer and safer, and our taxes would be reduced by almost a half.”

—H.L. Mencken 1880-1956
