Actually, lawyers know a LOT about the real world. They know that if they sue
someone, they can make gobs of money - especially if that someone has deep
pockets, and their client has deep pockets. Unfortunately, we (in the US) live
in the country with the most lawyers per capita of any other country in the
world, and we have more lawsuits than any other country in the world.

Unfortunately, you're right, Eric. After nearly 4 years of watching
"Court TV", I can also say we have some of the most gullible people of
any nation on earth. I've separated the "COURT TV" litigants into three
categories:
1. GOLD DIGGERS. Those who have a badly inflated idea of the price of
their (often imaginary) injuries
2. "Fallen women" or "Fallen men", who have all the morals of alley
cats, and expect the courts to pay them for their immorality
3. Just plain STUPID PEOPLE, who shouldn't be allowed in public without
a leash, a muzzle and a keeper. "He told me he couldn't get a cell phone
because of bad credit so I loaned him one if he'd pay the bill." HEY
IDIOT: He got bad credit because he DIDN"T PAY HIS BILLS!
And letting lawyers advertise was one of the biggest mistakes the FCC
ever made! More ads for lawyers per hour than all other products &
services combined!
Disgusted with the whole rotten system. End rant and end of my comments
on the subject.
