elmat, I've never had a dentist's drill in my mouth, no cavities after 50% of a century on the planet (give or take a howler or two), so I don't have much empathy to your dentist drill analogy. Simpletons need lawyers because they think they need lawyers. Being simple, they are easy to convince. Lawyers know simpletons can be tricked into hiring lawyers, and write laws and procedures in such a way that only a lawyer can use the laws and procedures when the simpletons who think they need lawyers find a lawyer. Forcing non-simpletons to hire their own lawyers, if only to simplify their life. It's an industry. Like cocaine is an industry. Only it's legal. That's why companies who make cold chisels end up having to spend more than the materials cost of the tool on liability insurance, packaging, labels, instruction manuals, indemnification, litigation and other such non-productive expenditures, merely because some simpleton whacks a sharp metal object into a brittle object and suffers bits of whatnot in their eyes. Go figure. To my simple way of thinking, the world would gradually become a better place if simple folk and clever folk were left to work things out between themselves and we didn't have lawyers getting in the way of Darwin's business.
