Yeah, I suppose lawyers, to those like yourself, are the only group left against whom it's safe to harbor prejudice.

Lawyers as "victims" of prejudice isn't going to garner you much sympathy.
But thanks for the compliment,
It's nice to be included in the majority of mainstream Americans once again.

Again, your prejudice blinds you. I'm not claiming victimhood, I have been extremely fortunate to have gained the respect of those in my community, i.e., people who actually KNOW me!

The harm of this particular prejudging isn't that it creates "victims," it is that it evidences your lazy thinking and bitter attitude. Res ipsa loquitor and all that, you know.

Having said that, though, I really am sorry that your life experiences have been so miserable that you are reduced to keyboard warrior attacks. Maybe the New Year will bestow on you some of God's special blessings. I hope so.

The economy has tanked...but it grew in the last couple of quarters.

We just had the worst Christmas sales in thirty years...because it only grew by one per cent from last year.

We have terrible unemployement because is it over 6 per cent...and the seventies had double digit when I went into the job market.

We have terrible unemployment because we can find certain job specialties...because our colleges are emphasing things other than marketable skills.

We have deficit problems...because we can't defund useless government programs.

California's deregulation experiment failed...because it was the first deregulation experiment to regulate retail prices only. How's that deregulation again.

Like it or not, in general, the economy is still good. Interest rates are down, inflation is down, unemployment is still down (except for people without a sense of history), and our GDP is growing.

If people cannot get six figures for designing simple web sites anymore, well then maybe they should have looked into how to rebuild houses, or become nurses, or dare I say it, lawyers, while the getting was good.

Everyone, and I do mean everyone, knew or should have known that the dotcom thing was a bust. If a company does not sell anything or is not making a profit, and you see it's stock climbing, look out, it is gonna fall quick.
