aHunterTrue words
Who said:
"First thing to do, let�s kill all the lawyers"
I�m quite sure the quotation is correct, but I can�t remember who said it.

DB BillThe quote is always taken out of context. For those of you who haven't read and don't intend to read "The Bard" let me make it simple for you.
The bad guys were plotting how to do all the illegal things they wanted but realizing there were laws in place to punish them if caught they thought that if there were no lawyers there wouldn't be anyone to stand up for the peasants etc.
So....Shakespear isn't saying lawyers are bad, just the opposite.
Pardon my defense of lawyers but I put one thru school and I like to think I got good vaule for my money.

SocratesFirst thing Stalin did was kill all the lawyers.
He then proceeded to kill, for fun, 1-3 million people a year, for 20 years.
Makes Hitler look like a fallen angel...
Problem with law is we always create it from extremes.
