Ditto. But most of my fraternity brothers are Lawyers and Accountants, so
it is to be expected. You see, such people live off of the dirt and scum that
goes on in society. They don't actually build anything or create anything, 
they just squeeze the pus out of everyone elses lives and live off it.

It isn't fair, but people who make small but active contributions to society
are usually not rewarded financially, but with lots of inner feel-good.

It makes me want to become a money-grubbing-four-flushing-double-dealing-no-
good-scum-sucking-shit-eating-lawyer or accountant. The inner feel-good shit
is a ruse dreamed up by such m-g-f-f-d-d-n-g-s-s-s-e-lawyers to keep everyone
else at bay. The real problem with lawyers is that they are like cockroaches,
they live off your salary and beget more cockroaches. Most of the Politicians
(another peeve in itself) are also lawyers... they pass laws that pave the way
for more lawyers... catch-22.

This has the beginnings of a great conspiracy theory.

What does justice have to do with this?

> I will do just about anything in retribution.

Enough ranting... go off and invent something, hire a lawyer to arrange for
the proper patents, hire a marketing agent to market the product, and then 
sit back and watch them get rich.

Isn't life fun? I should cross-post this to alt.good-news.
