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?
