The following came from a friend at work. And I was under the impression that all lawyers were mean and self-centered.
One afternoon a lawyer was riding in his limousine when he saw two men along the road-side eating grass.
Disturbed, he ordered his driver to stop and got out to investigate.
He asked one man, "Why are you eating grass?"
"We don't have any money for food," the poor man replied. "We have to eat grass."
"Well, then, you can come with me to my house and I'll feed you," the lawyer said.
"But sir, I have a wife and two children with me. They are over there, under that tree."
"Bring them along," the lawyer replied.
Turning to the other poor man he stated, "You may come with us, also."
The second man, in a pitiful voice, then said, "But sir, I also have a wife and SIX children with me!"
"Bring them all as well," the lawyer answered.
They all entered the car, which was no easy task, even for a car as large as the limousine was. Once under way, one of the poor fellows turned to the lawyer and said, "Sir, you are too kind. Thank you for taking all of us with you."
The lawyer replied, "Glad to do it. You'll really love my place...
The grass is almost a foot high"
Isn't it true that most of our politicians are lawyers? I know with the last round of elections in 2010 there were same significant changes and some doctors and businessmen/women were elected, but I suspect that the majority of the politicians at the federal and state level are liars (oops, I meant lawyers). I suspect that nearly 100% of those that serve on the bench are also lawyers - after all, only a lawyer can interpret the meaning of constitution. A judge then, with his lawyer background can then apply his view of the world to frame his interpretation in the way that supports his political views.
I just finished a book by Peter Schweizer titled Maker's and Taker's. An excellent read and I highly recommend it. I'm now reading another Schweizer book titled "Do As I Say (Not As I Do). It has interesting tidbits on the Clintons, Ralph Nader, Nancy Peolsi, Michael Moore, and Barbara Streisand and Al Franken. The subtitle of the book is "Profiles in Liberal Hypocrisy." It's been an interesting book thus far. Most of the subjects of the books are the liberal politicians who sure have a different view of the country than I have.
