Right now it's the oil-men who have too much power. Lawyers I'm not sure what to do about? You have a solution? I know one thing, the biggest deal I ever had was stolen from me by a major corporation. I was the little guy without much in the way of legal fees, but I had to sued because otherwise they just would have ignored me. I was still cheated but at least thanks to the (expensive) lawyers I got a million bucks. So a measure ogf justice. Lawyers are both good and bad. I admit, tough to stomach this terrorist Mousawi (spelling?) somehow havinmg three attorneys. Well he dropped them all. Maybe you agree with him? Yeah legal system is screwy. But what's the alternative? No right to sue? I know where the GOP stands, protecting corporations from lawsuits, including those by people like me. But look how Bush got into office, lawyers. Their lawyers were a little better and were in with the Supreme Court judges more, by one vote. Therefore the fix was in. That's the other side of the coin. One thing, don't feel sorry for rich corporations being sued. It's the little guy without the legal fees who's royally screwed in this justice system. In fact there IS no justice unless you're rich in many cases. Even though I had a strong case I couldn't get ANYONE to represent me on contingency.
