Re: Lawyer bashing on CD

So, what gives? Why do we act in this way with regard to lawyers, and what can be done to bring an end to it? Or is the stereotype a valuable illustration as to how not to look at the rules? I'm not sure. I do know that I cringe every time someone brings up "lawyerism" or some other such nonsense as the reason their interpretation of the rules is right.

In all honesty I think it has to do with the fact that people consider lawyers to be slightly higher than telemarketers.

I don't think Dean Kamen never got a real degree. That doesn't make him any less of an engineer.
