Lawyers

"The first thing we do," said the character in Shakespeare's Henry VI, is "kill all the lawyers"

 

bullet

"the legal profession is by far the most corrupt industry in America"

bullet

Lawyers are directly resonsible for almost doubling our cost of health care and the world's biggest prison population.

bullet

We have 70 times as many lawyers than Japan, but Japan has 4 times as many scientists and engineers.

bullet

Each additional lawyer reduces GDP  by $250,000 and costs each working American $150 per week.

bullet

Why are lawyers always "liberals"?

bullet

Lawyers, judges, and cognitive dissonance.

bullet

Become a Constitutional Guardian.

bullet

Lawyers routinely *violate* the state and US Constitutions by holding elective offices.

bullet

Our arrogant lawyers.

 

Lawyers are the biggest special interest threat!

Elected lawyers must resign from the bar or from office! 

They are prohibited from serving in public office outside the court (judiciary) by an uncontested law. Refusal to prosecute violations of this law hinders all health, education, crime, divorce, abuse, financial, transportation, election, immigration. ethics, enviroment-etc. reforms. Art. II, Sec. 3, Fla/Constitution (Non-Lawyer Jas. Madison's Separation of Powers Principle, as found in all our Constitutions) reads: "No person belonging to one branch shall exercise any powers appertaining to either of the other branches unless expressly provided herein..." that lawyers 'belong' to the judiciary branch was confirmed by the Fla. Bar's merger with the Fla. Supreme Court: 40So.2dp.902/ 1949; http://www.constitutionalguardian.com

The first thing Americans must understand is that, by design, lawyers are STUPID people.  They score lower on the Graduate Record Exam than most of all other majors, scoring slightly higher than average score for blacks and slightly lower than the average score for women, but more than 200 points lower than Asian engineering majors.  Could this be why Shakespeare suggested that we shoot all the lawyers first?

It's notable that our Christian Founding Fathers were farmers, engineers, businessmen--anything but lawyers--and that those few non-lawyers managed to structure a US Constitution which the world understood implicitly, and which worked expertly for almost two centuries.  On the contrary, 900,000 lawyers today can't even en masse comprehend what our brilliant Forefathers wrote, write a single intelligible page, nor can they even agree amongst themselves what "make no law", "shall not be infringed", nor "free exercise OF religion" mean.

What else could explain this other than their extremely poor quantitative skills?

Many lawyers are divorced, are paying "child support" and alimony to ex-wives (or two or three ex-wives) which makes their ability to understand the Holy Bible or draft a simple agreement, much less understand human nature,  highly suspect.

In the Michigan study, for example, researchers found, with only one exception, no statistically significant correlation for any student between undergraduate grades and scores on the Law School Admissions Test and future income or public service. The exception is the inverse correlation between test scores and public service-- the higher a student's LSAT score, the less likely he or she is to engage in significant public service. These findings suggest that law schools and other educational institutions should re-examine their admissions processes for all students.

ok.  What does this mean?   The smarter a citizen is, the less likely they are to enter public service?   Or the LSAT score doesn't measure critical thinking skills?  Or both?   How can it be that lawyers are selected from the lowest strata of quantitative thinking?  What happens to a  culture which permits the least qualified citizens to become its lawyers, judges, bureaucrats, and politicians?

Lawyers are such unproductive people that Stephen P. Magee estimates that "Each additional lawyer reduces US GDP by $250,000"

http://www.bus.utexas.edu/~magees/

 

bullet

"Stephen Magee, professor of finance at the University of Texas at Austin, estimates that the excess supply of lawyers in the U.S. reduces economic output by $300 to $660 billion.  From "Improving the American Legal System: The Economic Benefits of Tort Reform" at http://www.house.gov/jec/tort/tort/tort.htm

Related quotations about lawyers.

bullet

What do we call 10,000 lawyers at the bottom of the ocean?  A good start!

bullet

70% of all the lawyers in the world are in the US, 35% of all the prison inmates of the world are in the US, yet only 5% of the world's population is in the US.

bullet

44% of the jews in the world are in the US, more than are in Israel.

Could this be why the Gallup Poll found, when asking who people had a "very low opinion" of, that the only group which scored higher than lawyers was car salesmen?

Click here to see the entire pdf file which shows that lawyers GRE Quantitative score of 496 is just slightly higher than social workers and home economics majors.  If it's assumed that jews are only 30% of law school students, a conservative estimate, and if it's assumed that the GRE scores of other races who become lawyers are equivalent to the median scores for each race, then the only way that GRE scores for lawyers could be 496 is if jewish men have a GRE score of 360 and jewish women of 290.
