Do you mean to suggest that number of lawyers is a metric for the quality (or disfunctionality?) of a court system? And why are you comparing to socialist governments? I would think you would compare to something as similar as possible. There are so many other things (than number of laws) that could affect the number of lawyers in a country with a socialist government. > See, if X is the problem, one would think that reducing X would decrease > the problem.

This is getting rather silly. Nothing can be proved this way. _______________________________________________ http://mccmedia.com/mailman/listinfo/brin-l_mccmedia.com
