Too bad, I don't know how to help you, but if you'd contacted me 5 years ago, I had a bunch of stuff that could help. I ditched it all when I stopped using it. I was a TSP fanatic in grad school. It was a good program, but Excel and most DBs do so much more now. Sorry....
I did a double take, too....quite an interesting name.
As a lawyer-hater (no offense...my lawyer is great, but so many are, quite frankly, dickheads and I work with ALOT), I would agree with you. But in a very limited sense. I have been in plenty of situations that REQUIRE a lawyer, but could've been completed with a minimal amount of their input. Unfortunately, I find so many are self-important or want to feel (or be) more important than they need to be. It is certainly one field where the nature of what you do continues to expand as more participants become available, thereby overly complexifying things (LOL).
In general, though, I appreciate and understand their role. As I said, mine's a great guy. He's helpful and courteous and even provides lots of free legal advice. But the ones I work with make life difficult, kill more deals than they close, and are generally assholes. I think they are just frustrated salesmen, because they seem to want to sell, but don't have a clue about what it takes to make someone do a deal. All they care about is the "kill".
I see you use the Reason site....I am a former subscriber (soon to resubscribe...my wife halted it because she hates the Libertarian viewpoint - primarily because I always talked about it LOL). |
