Lawyers

They are nothing but parasites that feed on the rotting carcass of what could have been a great civilisation.

These people are second only to market day traders in the completely worthless money grubber stakes.

It does not take much scrutiny of their profession to come to the conclusion that they are the equivalent of the pre-Renaissance Catholic Church.

They operate in an arcane world which we are told cannot be understood by mere mortals who have not been inducted into their ranks.

They wrap themselves in ceremonial robes and wigs and confer upon themselves impressive titles that are intended to convey an image of superiority over lesser men.

They infiltrate our governments and pass countless laws that are designed to do nothing but cause conflict between groups.

They sit in judgment over the common man and use their own conflict promoting laws to simultaneously exact tribute from and maintain control over those that otherwise would be free.

Provoking conflict is not only profitable for members of the legal class but it also dissuades groups that otherwise might join forces to squabble amongst themselves instead of joining forces in order to unburden themselves from the predations of the legal class.

They have convinced the common man that their predations are a "necessary evil" and that civilisation would indeed be reduced to a state of chaos were it not for the servitude that they force upon us (backed by threat of force for those that refuse to bend).

To paraphrase the venerable Douglas Adams, "The lawyers  will be the first against the wall when the revolution comes"

Amen.
