It cannot be simply that people believe they are entitled to the services of lawyers (a belief perpetuated by bad law that actually says they are) because people also believe they are entitled to the services of doctors, and doctors aren’t nearly so maligned as lawyers. Like doctors, lawyers help people every day, making their lives incalculably better. Like doctors, they ask for compensation for this help — compensation to which they are morally entitled — and yet, for this, they are hated. Don’t get me started on lawyer jokes. You already know how I feel about those. [...] [...] So many lawyers are good people, but they get such an insanely bad reputation.

Jokes about members of a profession, merely as members, are collectivist. Such jokes, as well as non-joking generalizations of the same kind, are repugnant. They deserve only scorn from rational people. Burgess Laughlin http://www.aristotleadventure.blogspot.com Congratulations on taking your stand.
