>I am currently reading a book about the US, from the former Dutch correspondent for Dutch television in the States. (The book's title: 'Amerikanen zijn niet gek' meaning 'Americans are not crazy'.) In one of the chapters he states about american lawyers that they are very low on esteem-lists these days.
Hum... low esteem? This country is run by lawyers. Majority of our politicians are lawyers.
The American Republic will endure, until politicians realize they can bribe the people with their own money.
- Alexis de Tocqueville
No man’s life, liberty, or property is safe while the legislature is in session.
– Mark Twain (1866)
