    Most lawyers arnt that bad of people I hate the reasons and circumstances I have to hire them or deal with them. Keep in mind they have to deal with some pretty nasty unsavory things too.

    My last dealing with a lawyer was in regards to a codes issue. He was criminally incompetent. It was a scam run by two lawyers and their relative small town judges. I could write a book. The big trouble is you can not prosecute them for misconduct or incompetence. Any conversations you have are in private. Therefore your word against theirs. Since they have "credentials" they will win, and have lunch at the club with the judge. I think it was Seneca the Greek or maybe some Roman who is on record as first saying "kill all the lawyers". You certainly get more justice if you spend more money. dont get me started....

    When Mamamurf and I needed to obtain guardianship of our grandson, I went in search of an attorney and found a friend to go along with it. I'll tell you straight up that he and his legal assistants are as compassionate and honest as you can find. The clerk at the courthouse was giving us a LOT of trouble saying that they didn't issue guardianship. He would not take no for an answer and, although it didn't happen over night, the law prevailed and the cost was shockingly low, especially for the time they put in. When I asked if he was sure about the cost, he said"I work cheap for good people". BTW, he is a very accomplished bird hunter with some of the best dogs I have ever seen.

    Doesn’t “Decimate” mean “Reduce by one tenth”?

    I was living in PA and seeking to divorce my wife who lived in TN. I actually found a Knoxville attorney who was honest, up front and businesslike. We litigated the entire thing without my having met him once. After it was all over, we met for coffee, and he paid his own tab.

    Originally it was a punishment to soldiers. They were lined up and every 10th one was executed.

    The ancient Romans were known to do it, and that may be how the word got popular.
    I think I'd read somewhere the French did a little of that as late as WWI.

    OK People. Enough of this idle chit-chat.
