What did Bill Shakespeare say about them?

"First thing we do, let's kill all the lawyers."

I'm a lawyer, and I agree wholeheartedly with this article, although not entirely with Bill Shakespeare's statement.

I, too, am a lawyer, and I also agree with this article.

The “kill all the lawyers” line was spoken in the play by an insurrectionist wannabe tyrant. Which illustrates the point: for liberty to perish, the true law must be silenced. And today it is effectively being silenced by a cacauphony of false law.

"First thing we do, let's kill all the lawyers."...don't much like lawyers myself, but to be fair, I believe Shakspeare's famous "kill the lawyers" statement was made in response to a question in the nature of "what should we do to establish a dictatorship in the land?" - actually pretty supportive of lawyers.......

How about we only kill the ones that need killing. Is that better buddy?
