    Default Kill All The Lawyes

    As many of you know I am very smart

    What many of you do not is that I have basically decided I want to be an attorney after a pretty good practrice LSAT (158!) and the realzation that I'm simply not a science guy

    After telling some buddies a friend of mine basically told me that I would simply be holding the country back, lawyers are a waste, profession is a blood bath anyway

    So why all the lawyer hate? Do people not realize without them I could go around and just take what I wanted?

    Just some rambilings after a test take it FWIW
    There, but for the grace of God, goes John Bradford

    My aim, then, was to whip the rebels, to humble their pride, to follow them to their inmost recesses, and make them fear and dread us. Fear is the beginning of wisdom.

    I am tired and sick of war. Its glory is all moonshine. It is only those who have neither fired a shot nor heard the shrieks and groans of the wounded who cry aloud for blood, for vengeance, for desolation.

    Being a lawyer would be boring, too much legal jargon, bla bla who cares.

    Much better to be a detective, like Columbo.

    But what if you like the jargon?

    I can read court cases all day. I could care less about DNA replication or the internal workings of a cricut. Not that these are not noble. It is simply I have a burning passion for law and after a couple of years of college I have decided this is what I want to do.

    I think that I should have retrained as a lawyer and done a conversion course. Rather than waste my days in a sterile courtroom trying to prove some person is innocent to a bunch of malcontents I'd have gone straight for corporate law...

    Back to the point...

    Although there are few useful lawyers most are self serving. Imagine doing to a Doctor who persuades you to go and have a lot of expensive tests, and then go and see his mate the surgeon for an operation. After it all, you're a lot poorer and with worse health. That's what lawyers do - first one is the solicitor, second one is the barrister.

    Lawyers never a give a quick straight answer - when they're on the clock. They can be very incisive and brief when not though (the ones at work for example).

    An enemy that wishes to die for their country is the best sort to face - you both have the same aim in mind.

    Lawyers are the profession of Jack-in-office. You know that type that can ruin your life because you only did things 99% correct.
    You see, as a lawyer, you can go around and take what you want and be legally correct while doing it (so even the mob justice won't work). Or so the perception goes.

Might I just be a brain in a tank somewhere, tricked all my life into believing in the events of this world by some insane computer? And does my life gain or lose meaning based on my reaction to such solipsism?

    I will have to look into that. I'm sure there's some old LSAT's around campus somewhere.

    I will beat your score. And then I will rub it in your face. Because I am what I am.
