Frankly, I am a bit disappointed by the unwarranted attacks and slights against my profession, and more so, against my particular practice area found in this stream.

here here...two points I'd like to make here...

as you all know I've had more than my fair share of run-ins with lawyers and I can tell you its never really the lawyers for your enemies that get you pissed off, no more than you get pissed off at a marine for going to iraq no matter how much you hate the war...lawyers are the warrior class of our culture, and trust me, they're often the only honorable ones in the fight (because to them its a job, its no emotional and they are able to act with reason when their clients can not)...

the other point is that, yes, as I've said before, lawyers eat babies (so do journalists for that matter)...i say that as a joke but there is some truth there...here is why thats a good thing...when your ass is on the line, when you really need a lawyer, you don't want Dennis fucking Kucinich on your side, you want someone so mean he makes opposing councel leave the court room looking like the boogie man just smacked them around...

just like its been throughout history, its not the warriors that are to blame for the war, its the ones they work for...
