Nope, not in the least. I HATE people who take advantage of the suffering of others.
Wait a sec here: aren't you a lawyer?
Don't practice. Besides, the practice of law no more necessarily takes advantage of the suffering of others than does the practice of medicine.
Which all too often shares the position of the legal "profession" (especially the so-called "psychiatrists").
If you do your job right, you help people who need it.
Agreed. I assume that when you practised, you consistently met the 10 percent pro-bono-level???
John Edward helps no one.
The same could be said for many "professions", yet they are allowed to continue their "practice". Simple supply and demand.

-- Yours, J.A. Terranson sysadmin@mfn.org If Governments really want us to behave like civilized human beings, they should give serious consideration towards setting a better example: Ruling by force, rather than consensus; the unrestrained application of unjust laws (which the victim-populations were never allowed input on in the first place); the State policy of justice only for the rich and elected; the intentional abuse and occassionally destruction of entire populations merely to distract an already apathetic and numb electorate... This type of demogoguery must surely wipe out the fascist United States as surely as it wiped out the fascist Union of Soviet Socialist Republics. The views expressed here are mine, and NOT those of my employers, associates, or others. Besides, if it *were* the opinion of all of those people, I doubt there would be a problem to bitch about in the first place... --------------------------------------------------------------------
