"hypocritical grandstanding" Well said, sort of what I was implying in my post, but you said it much better.

ahhh, wouldn't that be a breath of fresh air? No lawyers as politicians.

Sometimes simple answers can be wonderfully effective.

Reminds me of a solution I bantered about a few years ago on SI in regard to public education. (or lack there-off)

What if every teacher, administrator, superintendent, principal and politician had to send their children and grandchildren to public school?

Think we would have so many failing ones?

I doubt it.

Anyway...good idea, but like mine it will never see the light of day.

As most all elected officials are attorneys I think we
should we should put a ten year moratorium prohibiting anyone who has graduated from law school from running for public office all
the way from dog catcher to president.

What do you think?


Pretty stupid idea. You probably think the saying "The first thing we do, let's kill all the lawyers" was Shakespeare putting down lawyers.
