He wanted us to sign so that several issues could get on the ballot, two of which he pronounced rather proudly to be "anti-lawer." Of course his tune changed immediately when he found out who fishfrog was (and for the record we didn't sign for those), but I found it interesting that the term "anti-lawer" was supposed to be the main selling point. I guess there are people out there who really respond to that.Nellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00280970404472126781noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18016245.post-36149648153957474592007-07-26T06:02:00.000-06:002007-07-26T06:02:00.000-06:00In the context of the play, the government is oppr...In the context of the play, the government is oppressing the people and the nobles realize that they need to get rid of the people who can form a cogent and well-reasoned argument against them. Who are those people? The lawyers. Because lawyers are the people who defend the population against the tyrrany and excesses of unchecked government power. Shakespeare was actually saying that a free society can't survive without lawyers. So the next time you hear (or see) someone making that statement, just remember that it's actually a pro-lawyer statement.Annhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03821972146221711353noreply@blogger.com
