----[Please read http://ercoupers.com/disclaimer.htm before following any advice in this forum.]---- My personal opinion of this is that when a profession abuses it's position in society, it should cease to exist. The police community has certainly done this. Come to think of it, I remember reading on more than one occasion about priests molesting young boys. Yes, we should certainly now do away with religion. And, dentists! Gawd, they're always taking sexual advantage of patients of the opposite sex when they have them on gas. Yes, they must be done away with for our own good. And airline pilots! The things they do to the coffee, tea, or me group cannot be ignored. Do away with all of them!!. Let's see, Doctors, Lawyers, not to mention business leaders. They must all be done away with. As far as I can see, the only group that doesn't overstep their bounds is politicians, and that's only because they have no morals to begin with. Let's see, did I leave anyone out?
