The more I think about it, the more I believe in retrospect that I should have become a lawyer. They seem to be one of the only groups in America for whom business is booming, and they don't face nearly the amount of legal and bureacratic hassle as doctors.

Is it possible to have a large national economy run entirely on everyone in the country suing someone else?

That's an approximation of where the spoiled kids in this country think we're going and where they want to lead us. Fifty years ago my mother said communism was a system in which advocates all were going to become artists, poets, and intellectuals. We have a new form of communism. Under the new form of communism for the elite we will have a $10,000,000,000,000 trade deficit so all the substantive work will be done in other countries to support us while we become a nation of artists, poets, intellectuals, lawyers, and paper pushers coasting in easy lives on the work of others.

Well, TX had an election Saturday, and the doctors beat the lawyers by 1 percent.

Can the ill start going to lawyers for medical advice?

This isn't about free trade. It's about the ascendence of a new breed of lazy useless commissaars. Bush and the Bush family are among them. Nobody in that family has done anything of substance since somebody in the family hit an oil well 100 years ago. Since then they fabricate importance and perpetuate their position by engaging in politics.

Only the PI/ambulance chasers.

Real professionals--corporate, labor-type attorneys are having a hell of a time billing hours. It's slow...REALLY slow.
