I'm working on establishing a foundation to provide free legal services to nursing home residents. Your professions often seem to get more criticism than most. Lawyers are said to be greedy, technical, and unprincipled. Economists are supposedly vague and unscientific. I honestly feel the criticism is exaggerated.
Lawyers are no worse than the people they represent.
I'm hopeful that reform will take place, but that will take a lot of time, imagination, and effort. Difficult problems are never easily solved. OK, so economics isn't an exact science like tarot cards, chiropractic, or Kirlian photography, but I think it's every bit as respectable a field as rolfing, channelling, or est. Your reputation is the most important thing you have. Thank you very much for your time.
