I don't have the time to respond to this whole thing at the moment--I'll chat more about it later. I just had to comment on the irony of this one line, given that FMCoug carelessly accused me of being nothing but a Republican hack in another thread.

*There is a surplus of lawyers in this country. *32 Now the object of these lawyers was to get gain; and they got gain according to their employ (Alma 10:32). *Since the more cases they do, the more money they make, their incentives are aligned in such a way that they would look for ways to sue people. *When you sue people, you're not creating wealth, you're just transferring wealth. From an economic standpoint, that's a wasteful activity. *Like any other profession, you're responding to a demand, but lawyers can create their own demand. |

You are only Republican in the sense that Republicans like authoritarianism. In reality I submit the truest Republican likes as little authoritarianism as possible, again, a la market forces. In my mind, upper left represents whack Dems such as Hillary. Lower left represents naive Do-Gooders, lower right represents correct thinking, rational, empiricists who desire the best for their fellow man but desire it to be delivered in the most efficient manner i.e., Republicans, and uppr right quandrant is reserved for power hungry control freaks. Il Duce comes to mind.

BullShit! Lawyers really make money by being efficient. Some mills bill the crap out of cases but most lawyers are working a case to win, not to increase the stuff. There will always be enough work. I could work 24/7 if I chose without trying to increase the work. I turn work away because of lack of opportunity. Now, if you say, profitable work that will let me live like the rich and famous, that's another matter. That is limited and I'd be happy to hit some multi-billion dollar awards, but it won't happen, so I plug away.

OK, maybe you're right. But why do I see Dexterlaw.com on the scoreboard of the Marriott Center, and on buses all over Provo. Why do lawyers have to advertise? If it just because people don't think about suing when they get injured? Last edited by ChinoCoug; 06-29-2007 at 12:56 AM. |

What percentage of research scientists are parasites? They work with the stuff, maybe you can tell me.

If I can't get a job, I expect the government to mandate a job for me. If I can't get health care I expect taxpayers to give it for me. It's all part of the gimme culture socialism creates for us.
