... "Lawyers" whom genuinely comprehend shit-all.

Taking money to advise or represent a scum-bag is one thing... and seems limited in its deleterious effect over time. A dynamic of only summing together the ills which no society will ever be free from.

That said, I am convinced however that a healthy society must ALWAYS allow a defendant access to sound advice and skillful counsel, no matter the extent of charges against them (even if that be the war crimes of Bush and Cheney).

In a brutish and uncivil society, I would bash their heads in with a baseball bat myself... with no conversation before nor after. They know not, the world they create anew by denying the writ of habeas corpus and due process at their god-like whim.

However, what I find worse and vastly more detrimental to the general welfare and workings of civility... is when a person first becomes skilled in the arts of legal-ease, and then commits allegiance to The Bar BEFORE (superior to) commitment to and representation of the client.

This forms a multiplier effect of benefit to The State, inverse at the expense of the people. (gee, I wonder why that is?)

Rather puke inducing, when this mentality is carried into carriers as "Civil Servants", as so many do. (Gonzales, you fuck!)

Among many other dynamics The State organically evolves, as The People slumber (as is our habit), smashing The Bar could do much more in advancing tranquility and humanity... before adding another 40 tonns of statute and criminal code ever could.
