Okay. Fair enough.

A friend who is an attorney sends along this:

Lawyers get a lot of flack. But the main point is true: places like Haiti and Somalia are not overlawyered and they are not place I’d like to live. I like places where the iron law is not “The strong do as they please and the weak suffer what they must.” As lawyer who was a saint says in A Man for All Seasons: “This country is planted thick with laws–man’s laws, not God’s. And if you cut them down, do you really think you could stand upright in the winds that would blow then?”
