As a (non-politician) lawyer, the owner of seven (7) military vehicles, and frequent visitor to this and the other MV forums, I do take offense at your shotgun "hate" message, but I will defend your right to express your opinion.
Is there any particular reason you hate lawyers so much? As a group have lawyers done anything to you personally to engender such personal hatred or is yours just the typical knee jerk reaction of the uninformed?
Who ya gonna call if you're arrested; if your insurance company won't settle the damage claim to your home that was destroyed by a hurricane; if your wife or children are killed by a drunk driver or careless 18-wheeler driver who fell asleep at the wheel; if your grandmother is abused or suffers neglect in a nursing home; if you need a Will or contract to purchase a home or property; if you have a problem with the zoning board in your community that claims you have too many military vehicles on your property; if you want to adopt a child; if a loved one suffers or dies from taking a prescription drug which is found to be dangerous (i.e. Vioxx); if a doctor amputates the wrong limb?? You say you're going to call a lawyer - one of those beasts you hate so much? Somebody who can actually help you?
I don't quite make the connection between your hatred of lawyers and your anxiety about politicians failing to answer questions. A few lawyers are politicians, but you shouldn't paint the entire legal profession with your "hate" brush simply becaues of your inability to distinguish the difference lawyers and politicans. What's the real issue here?
