Now it is very hard to deal with problems through the court system. It will financially humble the average guy even if you win. Basically if you win in most cases you have lost financially at the end. Forget about the stress involved.

Equal justice remains only a concept almost everywhere.

I have always loved the swearing in to tell the truth aspect. Then watching the most imaginative liar win the action. What a system.

If he common concept of lawyers is already not bad enough. It seems to be progressivly getting so bad now there are no jokes currently that reflect it adaquatly.

At one time I remember speculation about the prevelance of the occasional honest lawyer. Never hear that anymore at all. Bloodsuckers is an inadaquate term for them locally. Sad state of affairs in general.
