“… the greatest detractor from high performance is fear: fear that you are not prepared, fear that you are in over your head, fear that you are not worthy, and ultimately, fear of failure. If you can eliminate that fear—not through arrogance or just wishing difficulties away, but through hard work and preparation—you will put yourself in an incredibly powerful position to take on the challenges you face" - Pete Carroll.

Lets see if I'm getting this right, we have, are don't have, all those things you listed because of lawyers?
And, your calling WHO a "dolt"?
I don't blame lawyers for all of societies ills , but I believe would of arrived at a BETTER place WITHOUT lawyers.
There are people, thanks to lawyers, that make their living suing others, and never work a day in their miserable lives.
Just as statistics prove, that midwife's have fewer complications during delivery than doctors, I belive that a peoples advocate kind of system would work better than the system we use now.
At this point in time, lawyers are a necessary evil, period.
If ya can't prove it, don't say it.
Bikes, babes, and beer, it don't get no better than that.
You're right. The fact that you say there are people who make a living suing people means that lawyers constitute a societal evil. People shouldn't have legal representation, they should have Joe, the neighborhood "people's advocate" instead. Lawyers are the reason for society's ills. Nothing good has ever come out of having lawyers. Companies go through the extra effort and spend the extra money to install safety measures and warning labels on their products out of their own free will, sense of goodness and their sense of social justice. It doesn't have anything to do with the fact that they've been held liable in court by LAWYERS.
