>>>My argument is not about individual lawyers. The point that I was trying
to make is that the legal profession in this country is more than a bit out
of hand. Kids who have skateboards have to have helmets, shin guards elbow
guards. Even if they have all this stuff (which is probably good), when
they get hurt the manufacturer gets sued for their design.<<<
Or do lawyers simply reflect the values of the society of which they form a
part? Greed and a preference for blaming others rather than taking
responsibility for oneself are hardly sins that lawyers created, or ones
from which they alone suffer. Maybe blaming lawyers for the state of
society is as much an attempt to avoid responsibility as blaming skateboard
manufacturers for injured kids.
I'm not a lawyer by the way. I'm just uneasy about finding scapegoats.
