I think it's a fair piece, but there's one thing I disagree with the article: the value of lawyers' contributions. And, first my disclosure - I'm no where near being a lawyer myself and no one in my extended family become a lawyer yet.

I think the fact that the two sides' supporters are not shooting real bullets at each other yet should be attributed to the legal system in this country.

The lawyers are in many ways serve as the bullets for each side. Believe me, I've seen war, I've seen deaths and I've seen hell on Earth. I prefer to throw lawyers at my opponents than shooting at them. Any time, any conflict - no qualifier here.

When the American public pokes fun at lawyers, to me it's nothing more than a self-effacing endeavor.

So, to all the lawyers out there: I love you even though when you're mine and you call me, I kind of shudder since I don't know how much time you'd really bill me for the call. (But, in the end, I feel you've always done a fair job for me!)

Now, someone here may call me name 'sucker of the trial lawyers'!
